In the mangroves of Belize, something ancient lies hidden beneath the roots. And when it surfaces, so too will one of man’s baser inclinations. The root of all evil: GREED.
Boone Fischer and Emily Durand have enjoyed months of quiet on the tiny island of Caye Caulker. After surviving Hurricane Irma and a mountaintop madman, the two divemasters have finally begun to relax. Big mistake.
Following … mistake.
Following on the fins of the best-selling thrillers Deep Shadow and Deep Cut, this third Caribbean action-adventure thriller in The Deep Series takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of Belize. From the offshore cayes to distant lagoons, from tropical rivers to jungle ruins lost in time, Boone and Emily race to untangle themselves from a deadly plot that threatens to shatter their lives.
“High adventure under pressure! Nobody does underwater action like Nick Sullivan.” – Cap Daniels, author of the Chase Fulton Series.

Nick Sullivan is becoming a major force in Caribbean high adventure, and “Deep Roots” is probably his best yet. (But I’m reading a prepublication copy of Sullivan’s newest, forthcoming book — “Deep Devil” and it is just incredible).
If you love the Caribbean, diving, flying, and suspense, you can’t miss with this guy!

great story great location super characters.
Anyone who is or has done any scuba diving will really like this book. And Booneemily are a couple of great characters. Lots of action and diving in the story. Will read their other books.
It’s a good mystery but what I liked most was that it took place in Belize. I used to vacation in Belize. I love Belize. The references in this story took me right back there.
Realistic And Suspenseful
This is the third book in the Caribbean Dive Adventures and it starts off with a bang. Right away a dead body is found and Boone and Emily are trying not to get dragged into the investigation… but they find a little jade-like figurine and they’re both intrigued. Little did I know this was only the beginning…
Sullivan is able to bring an insane amount of realism to his books that make them jump off the page. Deep Roots was no different. This time we’re treated to diving in Belize, with some cave diving thrown in. What a thrill! Sullivan throws us off the boat and into the deep end so to speak with this one. Causing Boone and Emily to face their fears and face a new enemy.
The emotional attachment I have to these characters keeps growing with each book. Each story they become more and more real. They have problems from their former run ins with other bad guys. They have panic attacks and PTSD when certain objects appear. It’s just another layer that Sullivan adds to the stories to take them from good to great.
I can’t go into the main antagonist in Deep Roots too much but I thought that Sullivan did a great job setting the scene. He caused a massive amount of it but kept writing it in a way where I would second guess myself. I always try and guess the ending of books and I got some of this right but other parts I was way off. I enjoy that – I can kind of know where the book is going but also be caught off guard.
Overall, this was another great addition to the series and the setting, characters, and suspense were all phenomenal. I can’t wait to see where Boone and Emily take us next… I mean where Nick Sullivan takes us next. I might have to find a way to pick his brain and see what other tropical locations he’s dived.
This series provides great insight into the world of deep sea diving and the locales in which the book plots are set up. This author is a tremendous storyteller with descriptive sections not overdone but sufficient to spark one’s imagination.
This third book in the series is now my personal favorite of Nick Sullivan’s!
Boone and Emily end up in Belize and a boatload of trouble. Bodies, bullets, boats, Mayan treasure, jungles and more are all elements that combine in this mystery thriller which will have you on the edge of your seat. Oops, I left out the cave diving and the snakes, as if the rest of the list wasn’t enough. Yeah, this book just keeps coming at you with more danger, excitement, and head-fakes. It’s the best roller coaster ride you’ll ever take at home!
Please keep these coming, Nick! I love the way Boone and Emily’s characters keep evolving and strengthening with each new book. Okay, all set and ready for book 4!
Totally pays homage to Clive Cussler. I adore Boone and Emily. These books are so much fun to read! I can’t get enough of them!
