Dive into an ocean of crime with Navy bomb tech turned commercial diver, Ryan Weller, as he hunts down pirates, stops an international arms deal, and recovers gold from a sunken shipwreck in this exciting box set of high-seas adventures.
Dark Ryan Weller misses the surge of adrenaline from his days as an explosives expert. So, when his friend recruits him for an anti-terrorist organization, he gladly leaps back into dangerous waters. But he could be in over his head when his first mission puts him on the trail of deadly outlaws in the Florida Keys …
Scuba diving for clues among the shipwrecks, he discovers a sinister connection with Mexican arms smugglers. And when the merciless bandits come gunning for his blood, he suspects there may be a threat to the entire U.S. lurking beneath the surface.
Can Ryan stop a massive conspiracy on the high seas, or will he end up scuttled?
Dark Ryan Weller relishes his new black-ops career, taking down terrorist scum. So when the former Navy bomb-disposal tech catches wind of a notorious arms dealer running under the radar, he races into action to sink his next shipment. But with a Russian mercenary determined to collect the two-million-dollar bounty on his head, he may be deep-sixed just as things explode.
Despite the target on his back, Weller and his team mount an undercover mission at sea to stop a massive weapons cache from falling into the hands of a brutal Haitian dictator. Between an assassin hot on his heels and a vessel full of vicious mercenaries, the only way left for him to end the terror might be to go down with the ship.
Can Weller stop an international arms trade before he's sent to a watery grave?

Surviving the savage ocean might be the least of his worries. Ryan is also caught between a ruthless Haitian warlord and international arms dealer, Jim Kilroy both eager to reclaim the prize. Kilroy wants his gold, a payment for an arms deal gone bad. He'll stop at nothing to force Ryan to cooperate, including kidnapping Ryan's ex-girlfriend, Emily Hunt. The gold for Emily. But the warlord demands a ransom too, the gold for his life.
Can Ryan escape with the girl and the gold?
Guns, scuba diving, sailing, and suspense abound in this hit box set. If you like ocean adventures, non-stop action, and smack-talking heroes, then you’ll love Evan Graver’s pulse-pounding action adventure thrillers.
I'm center-brained and I get bored easily. I worked a lot of jobs in construction, as a security guard, a motorcycle tech (I'm a certified for Honda and Yamaha), as a car technician, a property manager, and in the scuba industry. My favorite job was being an aviation electronics technician (AT) in the US Navy. (I guess my new favorite is writing). After a motorcycle accident left me paralyzed, the Navy said, "You're out of here," and medically retired me. I moved back to Ohio, got married, had a son, and completed a bachelors in business management. I was always tired of the cold and the snow. It doesn't make it easy to get around when you're in a wheelchair. After years of trying to convince the wife to sell the house and travel, we bought a twenty-five foot toy hauler. I voided the warranty the day we brought it home by taking out one of the bunks and making and installing custom cabinets. Then we spent several winters traveling the Southwest, and eventually sold the house. We lived in the trailer full time for about two years and saw most of the US, except Kansas and Nebraska and New England. We'll get there. Along the way, I tried my hand at a lot of action sports; skiing, skydiving, bungee jumping, motorcycle racing, ATV riding, and scuba diving. I love to dive, so much that we ended up settling in Hollywood, Florida. I try to dive at least once a week and I'm working on my technical diving certifications. I want to go to three hundred feet.

Non-stop action, relatable protagonists, Carribean locations, wreak diving, guns - what's not to like. Once started I was reluctant to put it down, resulting in some very late nights.
The plots flowed well and the characters were believable. There was a bit much technical detail which I find common for people who write about their field of expertise. It is distracting and unnecessary to tell the reader the brand and model of each piece of equipment. We will not remember it for long not appreciate the finer details, especially if it does not move the plot along. It is also not realistic in some cases. I don't care how expert you are in firearms, if someone points a semiautomatic pistol at you from 10 feet away you can barely make out the muzzle, let alone know it is a Block 19 which holds 15 rounds in the magazine. If a character asks another about a piece of equipment then sure, fill them in on the details especially if it comes into play later.
A little slow in the beginning but the author picked up the pace and the adventure. Not a Brad Thor level of storytelling but the trilogy developed the Ryan Weller character and should continue to be a good read.
I love adventure mixed with intrigue.......friendship, bad guys, good guys and those in between that make a good story great. The underwater activities were new to me and added to the fun. A good read......all 3 books
Good action, good details and sense realistic! I like recreational scuba diving and the diving descriptions in these books seen authentic given what I know. Thanks for the good read!
