His dog. His computer. The tunnels under New York City.

That's all Joe Tesla's agoraphobia has left him with - the inside world, the dark world - and now the black depths of the sea.

In the latest book in this award-winning thriller series, Joe Tesla ventures out into the ocean depths in an underwater scavenger hunt. The competition turns deadly when a mystery sub rams Joe's and leaves him for dead on the ocean floor.

Joe survives and his search for answers leads into a web of international intrigue and enigmatic weapons. When he shares his knowledge with the authorities, they bury his information and threaten to bury him as well. After a drone attack drives him out to sea, he realizes that he alone can discover the truth hidden in a rogue submarine...and save the city he loves from annihilation.

But can a man trapped inside by his own fears ever save the larger world above?

Great listen!!

I have listened to the First in the series and now this one so I skipped the two little ones. I definitely can say you need to listen to the first one before you listen to any of the others and I think this is set up to where they can have more than just four. I don’t know if the series is gonna end here, but I think it would be worth continuing the series. Highly recommended for anyone who likes action and intrigue.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!

There’s suspense, a little romance and interesting characters, including the dog! Can’t wait for the next book!!

what a thrilling ride!

I couldn't wait to get to the end, wow! I was also sad to get there as there isn't another Joe Tesla to read, yet.

Outstanding non-stop action adventure!

The Steel Shark is another outstanding non-stop action adventure novel in the Joe Tesla series by Rebecca Cantrell. The series follows MIT graduate and millionaire Joe Tesla who developed agoraphobia soon after developing a surveillance program that tracks cell phones and emails for patterns to prevent terrorism. Joe suffers debilitating panic attacks whenever he goes outside or he is in crowded places. In the prior books in the series we observe the challenges Joe faces as he adapts to his life living in the tunnels under Grand Central Station in New York City with the assistance of his canine companion, Edison, and his part-time investigator/bodyguard, Vivian.

In the Steel Shark, we get to see Joe go outside his comfort zone inside a mini-submarine. The story essentially begins with Joe engaged in a rich-man’s underwater scavenger hunt for charity that soon turns deadly when he is attacked by a much larger submarine and another contestant’s submarine is torpedoed. Unfortunately none of the authorities believe that a ghost submarine attacked either of the subs, and instead they try to blame Joe with the mishap. Facing murder charges, Joe and Vivian attempt to uncover the truth behind the attack and they soon become targets themselves. What I truly appreciated about this story is that there are no easy answers as ethical issues abound while grieving sisters seek justice. Thankfully Joe’s brilliance coupled with Vivian’s savvy determination are a force to be reckoned with.

Jeffrey Kafer narrated this audiobook and he did a fantastic job. He really brought the characters to life giving each one their own distinct voice. His performance emoted the necessary urgency and tension in all the right places. Simply put, I whole-heartedly recommend this book -- and the entire series -- and I can't wait to listen to the next Joe Tesla novel!

Joe Tesla Bk #4

This is the 4th and final book in the series, maybe we will get lucky and there will be a book 5, I truly enjoyed this series. Each book caught my attention from page one until the end. I am hooked. Narrator Jeffrey did a good job. I received this audiobook free from FABC and this is my agreed upon review.
