Publisher Description
Scuba diving off the Galápagos Islands, wildlife biologist and freelance writer Summer "Sam" Westin is not only out of her element--she's plunged right into a dangerous conflict between fishermen and environmentalists...
When Sam is hired to cover a marine survey expedition to the Galápagos, she jumps at the opportunity--though she has to fudge the truth about her diving expertise. But amidst the giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and schooling hammerheads of Darwin's enchanted islands, Sam gets caught up in deadly game of survival of the fittest, and her dream assignment turns into a nightmare.
When her diving partner's air supply is contaminated with carbon monoxide on their very first dive, she wonders if someone is trying to sabotage the expedition. Sea cucumbers and shark fins are valuable commodities in the Asian market. How far will the poachers go? With no one watching their backs, Sam starts to suspect they may already be in over their heads--dealing with human predators more deadly than any shark...
Includes discussion questions for readers and book clubs.
Customer Reviews
Exciting read full of suspense
This book continues the hair-raising adventures of biologist and writer Summer Westin as she is caught in the middle of tensions between fishermen and environmentalists on the Galapagos Islands. The various sub-plots in the story and the dizzying number of people or groups with motives made this book a page-turner for me. I couldn't wait to find out what was really going on and whether Sam would make it back in time for her rendez-vous with heartthrob Chase. What I have enjoyed most about this series is the love of nature that the author brings into her books. I always feel like I am on location with Sam, and experiencing the natural world through her eyes.
