Neptune's Garden

Underwater explorer and journalist Eric Rayner hasnt written a word since his wife Sara died almost one year ago. Instead, hes been drowning in self-pity and alcohol since the crash of the Boeing 747 that took Saras life and that of 237 others. A marine biologist, she was traveling to Raja Ampat in Indonesia to study the sea life. It was the sea that cemented Eric and Saras relationship.


Now, Eric only drinks and sleeps. But when Proteus Marine Research contacts him, he is intrigued. Th is mysterious marine research foundation located in Vero Beach, Florida, was founded by sixty-six-year-old Thomas Chandley, a cryptozoologist. Although skeptical, Eric learns about Chandleys unique connection to his late wife, and he agrees to become part of the Neptune project that will explore what might be the lost city of Atlantis.



As Eric fi nds himself once again thrust beneath the surface of the sea in search of adventure among the diverse coral reefs, he learns that the real adventure lies in finding himself.
