Deep Shadow by Nick Sullivan

4.5

Boone is a dive master at a scuba shop in Bonaire in the Dutch Antilles. While diving, he spies a submarine built by a Venezuela drug cartel but hijacked by terrorists. Along with dive customers who happen to be well connected with the appropriate branches of government, he finds he is the only one who can stop the sub from blowing up cruise ships anchoring in a Caribbean island port. The author is an actor who turned writer focused on his favorite childhood vacations, the Caribbean, and his love of scuba diving. On the one hand, the level of detail actually makes this far-fetched plot very realistic. On the other, it makes for a slow start and gets a bit tedious. I enjoyed the book and its descriptions of the islands. I’d be happy to read the next in the series.

Nick Sullivan is multi-talented. Firstly, he wrote Deep Shadow. The story itself was enthralling. The characters felt real and grew as the story developed. Nick Sullivan also narrated his book. This might be the . . . 3rd book I've listened to where the author was the narrator. Since he is also the author, Nick knew exactly what he wanted to project in the narration. The way he portrayed Boone, and the rest of the characters, was brilliant. I was so caught up in the story.

The audio was smooth and clear. No cut-offs. It was probably the most perfect audio I've ever listened to. So, I really wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Because it's worth the read/listen.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Nick Sullivan. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
