When two of the most powerful people on Earth are held hostage,
the world holds its breath.

But for John McCready, his problems are only just beginning.

What starts out as a rescue mission, turns into a race against time to a backdrop of global disaster.

When events take a turn for the worse, he's left to fight insurmountable odds and make the ultimate decision of life and death.

From the tranquil lochs of Scotland, through a desperate fight for survival deep underwater in California, to the knife-edge tension of a confrontation high above the Pacific, Deep Hostage will take you over the edge, as one man is forced to the brink with the fate of the world in his hands.

Mike learned to dive when he was fifteen, and following a degree in marine biology and qualifying as a diving instructor, he has run a dive school in London, led trips around the world, and worked extensively in the film and TV industry.

The roles have ranged from safety and co-ordinating on feature films, commercials, pop-promos and TV productions, to camera work on documentaries, news reports and other video projects.

He has also written and directed a documentary on the development of rebreathers for the Discovery Channel, as well as numerous training and promotional videos.

Many of these adventures are documented in the book, Lights! Camera! Sub Action!

In parallel to the underwater work, he has always had a love of writing. This has led to a number of screenplays, interactive digital books and the John McCready series of novels.

Deep Hostage maintains the non-stop intensity of John McCready's exploits but the likelihood of using the International Space Station as a weapon of ware strained credibility. Very glad that John and Clare are back on speaking terms.
