Hatteras Blue: A Tiller Galloway Underwater Adventure

The Tiller Galloway Novels, Book 1

De: David Poyer

Narrado por: Edison McDaniels

"Tiller Galloway is a terrific hero.... A fast-paced, convincing thriller set in an unusual locale." (Baltimore Sun)

"Plot twists and turns that chart a tricky course through the deep waters of human need and greed." (Ocala Star-Banner)

“Local atmosphere and a good knowledge of treacherous currents keep things on course.” (The London Times)

On a moonless night in 1945, a destroyer sinks a U-boat, 50 miles off Hatteras Island, the graveyard of the Atlantic. Over a half-century later, the mummified corpses of three crewmen, wrapped in a decaying rubber raft, come to light during excavation for a new shopping development. Their reappearance unleashes neo-Nazis, drug smugglers, and a shadowy "historian" with an ominous plan.

When Hatteras native, salvage diver, and ex-con Lyle "Tiller" Galloway III starts digging into the discovery, he's forced by an island family to take on a dangerous silent partner. Together, he and Shadrach Aydlett will discover what actually happened in the Carolina sand hills so long ago, and what everyone's really after...tons of long-lost Nazi gold. And finally, he’ll battle a ruthless killer many fathoms beneath the stormy sea off Cape Hatteras.

Monotone narration

Couldn't get past 3rd chapter, narrator is monotone. does voices well, but makes it difficult to get into story.

A great new adventure series

Hatteras Blue: A Tiller Galloway Underwater Adventure: The Tiller Galloway Novels, Book 1. Loved this book it left me wanting to read/listen more in the series.
Realistic descriptions of underwater dangers and beauty, with the 3 main protagonist well developed. Quite fast paced it gripped me from the first chapter and held me thru untill the last sentence.
Narration by Edison McDaniels is superb - in fact he made it from a 4 star listen into a 5 star,
I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.

Gripping Listen!

David Poyer is a new author to me. I was attracted to this underwater action thriller by the book blurb. I had never realized until the past few years how close the German Submarines came to our country during WWII. This book expands upon some historical things that I knew and meshed fiction into one gripping tale. Some of the characters in this book I really liked, while others were despicable. I thought the narrator Edison McDaniels did a great performance. One could hear who was speaking. He did a great job with the accents and dialects. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Great read!

action-adventure, suspense, greed, mystery, thriller *****

Plot speed is a bit erratic, but the story is good. The publisher's blurb is better than most, so there's no need for a recap of spoilers. I thought that it was a good thing that the suspense build up wasn't as fast as some because that often lures the reader to skim or skip, and that would really be a waste. It really is a good read!
The audio is performed by Edison McDaniels who is adept at underplaying when indicated and never oversells.

Mostly Fun & Entertaining

Well written and narrated. I had a problem with all the boat terminology. It caused the book to be longer than it should have been and it was just boring to hearing about engine parts, etc. However, if you like that stuff, you will probably love it. I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Blast
