About this listen
David L. Robbins, author of the war classic War of the Rats, delivers another heart-stopping, deeply researched military adventure, this time right off today’s front pages.
The US military’s most highly trained and elite unit is the US Air Force pararescuers, known as PJs. All battle-hardened vets, their motto is "That Others May Live". Their singular mission is CSAR: Combat Search and Rescue. But, off the Horn of Africa, one PJ unit is tasked with a desperate assignment that goes against its oath: Take down a cargo ship full of secrets that’s been captured by Somali pirates. The team doesn’t hesitate, because one of its own is already on board the hijacked ship. There, they will face ruthless Yusuf Raage, a pirate leader who will sacrifice anything and anyone to keep his captured ship. The PJs have only one hour before the ship is destroyed by a missile, with all hands and cargo aboard.

From award-winning journalist and combat veteran Michael Hirsh comes the thrilling inside story of the Air Force's pararescue operations in Afghanistan. The first journalist to be embedded with an Air Force combat unit in the war on terrorism, Hirsh flew from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, with the 71st Rescue Squadron to their expeditionary headquarters at a secret location in Central Asia. Unparalleled access to the pararescue jumpers - or PJs - as well as to the courageous men and women who fly them where they have to go, often under enemy fire, allowed Michael Hirsh to uncover incredible stories of courage.

America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday. Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost. Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear. But Trapp’s not that easy to kill.

To the United States military, this creature has a different name - Marine Lieutenant Trevor Brett, the chemically engineered experiment gone wrong that they will do anything to hide. Sole survivor of his platoon, Brett has stalked the jungle for prey. But the men who made him into a monster are searching for him, and when they find him, the line between hunter and hunted will be blurred.

Before he was anointed to carry on the legacy of Robert Ludlum's Janson Command series, and before he collaborated with Clive Cussler on the fan favorite Isaac Bell series, Justin Scott created this suspenseful adventure tale, a novel of love and revenge set on the high seas. Written in 1978, this is considered by many to be one of the best maritime thrillers of all time. As an expert in the world of ships and sailing, Justin Scott creates an authentic maritime world, making The Shipkiller all the more thrilling because it could be a true story.

Story
The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug". Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity.

Enjoyable Listen
Amongst all the negative and positive reviews, I find this book a good read with lots of action to sustain my attention. Definitely not a waste of time. Plus, I get to learn about a new section of the marine, the PJ. Excellent narration by Benjamin Darcie.

Eventually, the book ended
Would you try another book from David L. Robbins and/or Benjamin L. Darcie?
From Mr. Darcie, I'm likely to: I liked his voice and he could render the various character.From Mr. Robbins.... Well, the book was much, much, MUCH slower I wish it to be.The plot was not a bad one, on the contrary: a humanitarian mission turned into the rescue from an hijack of a classified vessel.
Quite alluring as a plot.
But the story went on at snail pace. It took me a real effort not to put it aside.
Would you be willing to try another book from David L. Robbins? Why or why not?
As before, this book was so slow!
Which scene was your favorite?
The death of the capitain of the ship. I liked him, his death suits both the character and the plot.
Could you see The Devil's Waters being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Maybe it could turn to a decent tv series. Stars... No, it suits to anonymous actors.
Any additional comments?
Not a complete waste of a credit, if you look for a mild action book.
The characters as a bunch are some plain and hackneyed.

A Non-stop thrill ride
A great story full of non-stop action and adventure. “The Devil’s Waters” is well written and keeps you riveted as you wonder what will happen next and the characters are the best of the best the PJs who want to save lives rather than take them. This is a great book for anyone who loves thrillers with a ton of action!
Mr. Darcie does a great job bringing the characters to life with his accents.

Not captivating
I’ve listened to 3 chapters so far. The narrator is very monotone, like he should be reading a old historic book about Theodore Roosevelt or someone building some sort of business empire. I really try to stay away from books that aren’t read by the author and this book is a prime example. I’m going to try and return this book and get something else.

Excellent military/espionage novel
There is a tendency for military thriller authors to substitute continuous action and fabricated suspense for a real plot. The Devil's Waters has all of the action and suspense expected while also having a strong plot. This is the first novel in the USAF Pararescue Thriller series. It is a better novel than The Empty Quarter which is the second book in the series (I reviewed it 13 months ago). The team fights Somali pirates without understanding their real mission is espionage against Iran. Some reviewers write that this novel is unrealistic. I disagree! The espionage scenario by the US could easily occur.

Would have liked an abridged version
I am *so* not one for abridged books, but frankly, this book was just a little too ... too wordy, too technical, too slow. I actually really enjoyed the cast of characters, the plot and even the general writing style. Liked the narration a lot, but yeah ... maybe an abridged version. I got this book through my kindle unlimited program and paid the reduced whyspersync prices. It was worth the $2, and I am intrigued enough to be going to check out book 2.
This isn't a genre that I have delved particularly deeply into, so maybe I am just not burned out on it's particular tropes yet ...but I thought this was a fun listen.

PJs would be embarrassed by this...
I understand the concept of suspension of disbelief, but the whiny and completely unbelievable characters in this story made it hard to listen to.
