Deep Shadow

The Deep Series, Book 1

De: Nick Sullivan

Narrado por: Nick Sullivan

In the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, something lethal is on the move.

Scuba divers travel from all over the world to visit the little island of Bonaire, with its crystal clear waters and a host of beautiful marine life. After three years in the “Diver's Paradise”, divemaster Boone Fischer thought he’d seen it all, but on a routine afternoon dive, he spots something that will turn his tranquil life upside down.

From the arid shores of the ABC Islands to the tropical jungles of Venezuela, and from the ocean depths of the Southern Caribbean to the lush islands of the Northern Leewards, Deep Shadow takes Boone and the listeners on an action-packed adventure filled with danger and suspense.

"Every damn sentence in Deep Shadow vibrates with authenticity — whether it’s diving at the edge of an abyss, pushing an open fisherman to its limits in a rough sea, or detailing a claustrophobic smuggler submarine. You can smell the sweat on the bad guys, and the good guys (and girls) never seem contrived. Deep Shadow is accurate, paced like an anxious thoroughbred, and highly entertaining. I can’t wait for the next one." - Michael Reisig, best-selling author of The Road to Key West series.

"The age old adage of write what you know, becomes very important when you write about a technical subject like scuba diving. When you get all the details right, and throw in just the right amounts of action, humor, romance, and suspense, you have a novel like this." - Wayne Stinnett, best-selling author of Fallen Out.

“Deep Shadow has it all—Suspense, Thriller… and a little bit of love. Sullivan is obviously a fan of the culture, climate, and diving in the Caribbean. The way he described each island and each dive that they made is painted in this amazing color that I felt like I was there. Overall, Deep Shadow will probably be up there with my Best of 2018 books. 5 out of 5 Stars.” - Brian’s Book Blog.

“I was immediately drawn into the Clancy-esque storyline, but was equally turned on by the romance at the center. Props to this writer for giving us both a male and female heroine, and a romance that works within and amplifies the storyline. A delicious, sexy, action packed maritime adventure that will keep you turning the pages well into the night!" - Gabra Zackman, author of “The Bod Squad” series.

“If you’re planning to island-hop the Caribbean by boat or plane, you couldn’t have a better guide than Nick Sullivan, a great storyteller and a spout of knowledge about (to list a few) craft large and small, sea life, scuba diving, weaponry, hydraulics, geography, navigation, island history, food and drink. But he doesn’t hit you over the head with the research, and it enhances rather than interrupts the tale.”- Peter Johnson, author of Grant’s Indian.

"Deep Shadow has it all - Suspense, Thriller… and a little bit of love. Sullivan is obviously a fan of the culture, climate, and diving in the Caribbean. The way he described each island and each dive that they made is painted in this amazing color that I felt like I was there. I can also tell that a ton of research (and non-fiction elements) went into Deep Shadow… everything felt incredibly plausible. The characters were likable and easy to root for (especially Boone) - you just wanted them to do well and to come out on top. Overall, Deep Shadow will probably be up there with my Best of 2018 books. 5 out of 5 Stars.” (Brian’s Book Blog)

Great Caribbean Dive Adventure from a new Author!

Great characters you can picture living there. Nick's knowledge of the Caribbean islands is evident and I enjoyed learning more about them. Story has a nice blend of diving, adventure and love interest. I finished and immediately pre ordered his next book in this series!

Suspense and thrills from beginning to end!

Listened to Nick Sullivan for the first time and I'm already hooked! Highly recommend to listen to his stories. They are so authentic and real. He sends the listener on whirlwind trip through the Caribbean with on the edge of your seat suspense and authentic voice characters that one literally feels as if you were also a part of the story. Look forward to hearing more of Nick Sullivan.

Fanciful imagination

Entertaining, but implausible to the point of ridiculous story line detracts from the overall experience. If you can suspend reality, you can enjoy it.

DIVERS must read new fun series

I have over 5,000 dives and this is the only novel i'v found where the author does not butcher the diving realities. It even captures the fun little real things like an u/w photographer so focused on a macro shot that they miss a sub pass by them. I've seen photographers miss whale sharks while focusing on a macro shot.
The only weak spot, but it is a new series, is the 'heroin' is portrayed too flakey; however she is fun and has potential to mature. The plot potential for this series i unlimited, nad they can also be truer than readers will believe.
If Nick is not careful in a few years, people will be saying Clive Cussler and NIck Sullivan are.....

Loved it

Book was very entertaining can’t wait for the next. I would highly recommend it. Quick read.

Loved it

As a former dive instructor and Flight Engineer on Navy P-3C Orions I love the attention to detail Sullivan has put into this book. He has a new fan and I'm looking forward to reading his next.

Action, Mystery, Humor, and Feel-good Characters!

From the first line in the novel, I was interested! By the end of the first chapter, I was hooked! I found Sullivan’s descriptions of the Caribbean and scuba diving to be accurate and thoroughly enjoyable! There was an excellent pace throughout the novel that kept me interested. From the snappy and distinct dialogue, to the light humor, to the action and driving adventure, it was a story that was hard to stop! I really loved the characters Boone and Emily! I thought they made a very endearing couple and even the villains were interesting! The story was well developed and it made for a great adventure read. The details were rich and so very enjoyable! I was literally able to see each detail with perfect clarity, which really kept me in the story! I am excited to read the next installment in this series!

I thought it was a special treat that Nick Sullivan was both the author and narrator. He was very close to the story and its characters, and it shows! He read each of the characters with excellent clarity and there was no question who was who. Each character had their own distinct voice, and Sullivan did an award-winning performance! Reading the novel would have been a delight but getting to enjoy Sullivan’s voice acting skills as he told the story was an extraordinary experience!

Overall, I give this experience five stars and I highly recommend Deep Shadow for anyone seeking a high-stakes island adventure with endearing characters!

Fun new adventure

After enjoying Nick Sullivan's voice work, so much, with the Wayne Stinnett novels, I was thrilled to discover that the very busy Nick Sullivan is also an author! I really enjoyed listening to "Deep Shadow"! Great new characters, with a fascinating storyline. I highly recommend it! Especially if you like the Caribbean stories, such as Wayne Stinnett's. There's even a little treat in this book, which will appeal to Wayne Stinnett fans (No, I'm not giving spoilers.). And, yes, Nick also does the voice work on his book! I understand Nick is busy with the second book in his Caribbean Dive Adventure Series, and I am anxiously awaiting it. Nick has also written another book, in an unrelated genre, "Zombie Bigfoot", which I will definitely check out.

Great book for island enthusiasts and divers

There are far too few well-written books that have scuba diving as an integral part of the plot - most that do are clearly not written by divers and contain embellishments or technical inaccuracies that spoil the fun for a reader who is a diver.

The narration of this book was very good, and engaging - the plot fast-paced and interesting. The descriptions of diving, underwater life and specifically the Island of Bonaire are all extremely accurate and ring true.

Very much enjoyed the book and look forward to more from the series.

Good story, excellent narration.

I really enjoyed this one even though I have very little experience with diving or terrorists. The characters are well designed, and the story has just enough humor and good feeling to make it a lot of fun. Highly recommend it.
