Publisher's summary

Diver James McGregor is used to exploring sunken ships. But there's something strange about the wreck of the Grave Descend. No one aboard tells quite the same story about what happened. Then there's the mysterious cargo they were carrying....

In one of the most beautiful places on Earth, a sinister plot is about to unfold. And if McGregor's not careful, he may find himself in over his head.

A gripping short story

it's wonderful that the skill of writing short stories is still alive and well.

Great listen

An improbable journey made probable, had to finish it today. It sounded real to a point, no real downtime.

Serviceable

A young author under a different name, but the budding talent is there. It’s a good story, worth the listen, but it’s ultimately forgettable. Narration is good.

Decent short thriller

I enjoyed the story and the characters were believable. It's definitely told in a way that worked when it was released but wouldn't be done today (the objectification of women for example wouldn't fly in 2019). I liked the lead character and for me that's critical in a story like this.

rain man

I like all the underwater books and some are good and some are not so good I think this one probably took the middle of the scale.

Always read reviews is my advice

Very short story, which was ok. The author would've wasted our time trying to extend it. Good storyline, would make a decent TV show episode! Kinda reminded me of a show I watched once!
Good book. just glad I bought this one on sale!

Okay short MC story. Great narration.

Early work of MC written under his nom de plume John Lange. Great narration. I’m glad I got it on sale, not because it was not interesting, but because it was short.
