“Death Ship” is another suspense-filled thriller in the 45-year-long journey of the Danforth family. This fifth book in the Danforth Saga, which includes “Evil Deeds,” “Terror Cell,” “The Nostradamus Secret,” and “The Lone Wolf Agenda,” introduces Robbie Danforth, the 15-year-old son of Michael and Miriana Danforth, and the grandson of Bob and Liz Danforth.
A leisurely cruise in the Ionian Sea … Sea turns into a nightmare event when terrorists hijack a yacht with Bob, Liz, Miriana, and Robbie aboard. Although the boat’s crew, with Bob and Robbie’s help, eliminate the hijackers, there is evidence that something more significant may be in the works.
The CIA and the U.S. military must identify what that might be and who is behind the threat, and must operate within a politically-corrupt environment in Washington, D.C. At the same time, they must disrupt the terrorist’s financing mechanism, which involves trading in securities that are highly sensitive to terrorist events.
Michael Danforth and a team of DELTA operatives are deployed from Afghanistan to Greece to assist in identifying and thwarting the threat.
“Death Ship” is another roller coaster ride of action and suspense, where good and evil battle for supremacy and everyday heroes combat evil antagonists.

Hard to put down
Page turner.
Loved it, non stop action from the first page to the last.
Enjoyed reading this book it moved along at a good speed and ended well
I tried to find something about this book that I liked – but I failed. Sorry.
I only had one small problem with the book… the cast of characters was so large that it was hard to keep track… and with no back story or information about who was who… took a while to make sense of everyone’s place in the plot. Now, having said that… I really liked the writing of the book. It was an easy read (other than the new characters popping up all the time) and the story line was well researched and actually possible… which is very scary in itself. I would recommend this to anyone that is aware of how our Government works, or doesn’t work, and can appreciate that you don’t always have to follow the rules to do the right thing.
Great read, quite a page turner.
Kept me coming back to read.
Predictable.
Very good book if you are into this genre. Writing and editing were excellent.
hard for me to keep people straight
Didn’t bother to finish reading. Too wordy for my taste.
plot was decent but characters were stereotypical and predictable
enjoyable, fast paced
Very exciting and possible scenarios
Action adventure set in present day.
Well thought out action adventure
Good action. Good story. Great characters. I want more. Definitely worth the read.
Why not 5 stars?
Good characters, but I wanted more development on the coming-of-age angle for Robbie. These potential catastrophes that drive the thrilling piece of the plot is really driven home for me by the reality of the situation. I would have liked to follow the path of the illicit material; I want to confuse this work of fiction with the news. I was enthralled by the financial investigation and the connection between shorting stocks and terrorist plans, so give me more of that with the action that goes along with it. The action is great but a bit more selling the reality of the fictional situation would bump this book of for me.
Really enjoyed the read. Kept my interest the entire time.
It was a real page turner.
Great story, fun read.
