DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA

"A powerfully written Florida adventure . . . a compelling glimpse at the mysterious world of cave diving." - The Orlando Sentinel

"One of his best novels yet . . . bristles with suspense . . . What makes this novel particularly memorable are the extensive, harrowing descriptions of cave dives, which are riveting enough to terrify experienced divers." -Publishers Weekly

"Fans of Clive Cussler will love this thriller. An essential purchase." - Library Journal.

"White-knuckle diving scenes, constant action." - Kirkus Reviews

"Tiller is a character who grows on the reader . . . As usual, Poyer provides a smashing climax, this one fraught with danger from man and nature." - Jacksonville Times-Union

"There can be no better writer of modern sea adventure around today." - Clive Cussler

"Claustrophobics beware! David Poyer's suspenseful cave-diving novel, DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA, takes readers into water crevices, submerged limestone tunnels, cramped wormholes and subterranean hell holes that give suffocation new meaning . . . Vivid, believable descriptions . . .We can get the fear and adrenaline of cave-diving without ever leaving the dry safety of our favorite comfy chairs." - Tallahassee Sun Democrat

"Depth: 105. Wriggling like an eel, he forced himself up into the narrow gap he'd created . . . Rocks scraped and clattered away. A hint of doubt - should he be doing this? - was answered by the calm comfort that pervaded his mind now. Nothing was going to happen. Everything was going to be all right. . . . ."

Welcome to the most dangerous sport on earth: where cave divers step into murky Florida ponds and end up hundreds of feet below the ground, threading through the narrow passages of Swiss-cheese-like rock formations, heading down tunnels that may open into caverns of breathtaking beauty, or else suddenly collapse in rockfalls that crush out their air and their lives.

Oilfield diver and ex-con Tiller Galloway has come to this watery underworld to find out why an old friend died young - and take one last shot at being a father, a lover, and a friend. But with a woman opening up her heart, and a deadly conspiracy closing in around him, Galloway must navigate between lies told aboveground and truths hidden in the depths . . . where a violent battle is about to explode.

Combining the knife-edged action of Clive Cussler with the heart stopping storytelling skill of John D. MacDonald, USA Today-bestselling Dave Poyer continues to be one of American's most popular and remarkable thriller writers . . . and a master of underwater suspense.

"A ripping good read! Poyer raises the bar with this one. The cave-diving scenes are riveting, claustrophobic, terrifying, and beautiful." - Booklist
