    About this series

    A couple’s quest to rescue a kidnapped girl leads them into the perilous heart of the Sinai desert: “A sure bet for adventure fans” (Booklist).
     
    Nautical entrepreneurs Richard and Robin Mariner are relaxing off the coast of Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt when their boat flounders on Shaab Ruhr Siyoul—known as the Blind Reef—and they suddenly find themselves saving the lives of several refugees.
     
    One of the survivors, Nahom, tells them that his twin sister Tsibekti has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom by smugglers. Shocked by Nahom’s story, Richard and Robin travel into the heart of the Sinai in a quest to find the lost girl. Now they must evade Egyptian police, Bedouin smugglers and militant Islamists in order to rescue Tsibekti and get out of the desert alive . . .
     
    Blind Reef is a ripped-from-the-headlines installment in a seafaring thriller series that “resembles a mixture of Ian Fleming and Hammond Innes” (Publishers Weekly).

      Mother Nature declares war on the West Coast in this“terrifying, suspenseful, and vividly told” action thriller: “A must for high-seas-adventure fans” (Booklist).   Richard and Robin Mariner are in Long Beach, California, overseeing the arrival of their container ship, Sulu Queen. From there, the adventuresome couple plan to join their friend Nic aboard his fifty-million-dollar motor yacht as he races his daughter in an Olympic-standard Katapult multihull down the coast to Mexico.   But when a catastrophic once-in-a-thousand-years megastorm known as an ARkStorm overwhelms them, Richard and Robin are forced to turn the Sulu Queen into a real Noah’s ark. Richard must guide her into the deadliest weather the Pacific has ever seen as he fights to save those closest to him—as well as countless other lives.   “Readers who batten down the hatches and keep the Dramamine handy should enjoy the rough but rewarding ride.” —Publishers Weekly on Thunder Bay   “Tense, action-packed and authentic-feeling, especially in its welcome attention to maritime detail.” —Kirkus Reviews on Deadly Impact
