Dark Drone: A Ryan Weller Thriller: Book 11
A MISSING MILITARY SECRET … A RUTHLESS ADVERSARY … A RACE AGAINST TIME
When a space-based drone conveying part of an orbital defense system plummets into the Caribbean, the U.S. military scrambles to retrieve their missing tech. The nearest vessel to the crash site is Ryan Weller’s personal catamaran, and the top brass waste no time in enlisting Ryan’s help in diving for the drone.
Determined as ever, Ryan locates the missing UAV, but before he and his colleagues at Dark Water Research can raise it from the ocean floor, they come under fire from a detachment of Chinese Special Forces intent on securing the satellite for their own use.
With multiple parties now staking their claim to the satellite—and a Chinese submarine stalking the Caribbean—Ryan is once more thrust into the thick of things in a race to return Project Thor to U.S. soil.
Failure would mean handing China the ability to undermine the United States, and that’s not a price Ryan is willing to pay.
But the Chinese have ideas of their own …
Dark Drone is the eleventh lightning-fast entry in the Ryan Weller Thriller Series.

About the author
Evan Graver
38 books25 followersI'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.

Well-written and hard to put down...
Like Graver's style. He keeps the action flowing and his characters keep the reader involved. One of the better books I've read recently. Look forward to another of his stories!

DNF around 40%. This is probably more about me than the book, but I don't enjoy "hero" protagonists repeatedly murdering folk unprovoked.

My first read by this author - loved it and will read more

A fairly routine thriller - not particularly good prose but simple and easy-to-read. Many unexplained references to past events and new characters coming and going without any given background. A pure time-waster.
