In the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, something lethal is on the move.
Scuba divers travel from all over the world to visit the little island of Bonaire, with its crystal-clear waters and a host of beautiful marine life. After three years in the “Divers Paradise”, divemaster Boone Fischer thought he’d seen it all; but on a routine afternoon dive, he spots something that will turn his … something that will turn his tranquil life upside down.
From the arid shores of the ABC Islands to the tropical jungles of Venezuela—from the ocean depths of the Southern Caribbean, to the lush islands of the Northern Leewards, Deep Shadow takes Boone and the reader on an action-packed adventure filled with danger and suspense.
“The age-old adage of ‘write what you know’ becomes very important when you write about a technical subject like scuba diving. When you get all the details right, and throw in just the right amounts of action, humor, romance, and suspense, you have a novel like this.” – Wayne Stinnett, bestselling author of Fallen Out.

Great read great location
Excellent divers adventure novel. Interesting twists and turns with interesting hero.
He can hold his breath for 5 minutes? It came in handy. Great story and very defined characters. Made my want to go to the ABC islands and beyond!
another great series that i recommend.
Wonderful descriptions and information about the islands help to highlight the adventures. Boone is “the bomb.”
Very enjoyable read with real and entertaining characters.
well written, held interest, good flow of actions. Characters held ones attention, what’s happening next.
Enjoyed learning about the technicalities of scuba diving. Great characters and a great setting for a scary story.
Bonaire of the ABC Islands in the southern Caribbean was never on my radar before, but this little piece of heaven certainly is now. I stopped Deep Shadow many times to go to Google to look up photos of all the amazing places the main character, Boone, traveled to. And I remained jealous as I sat listening in road ragey traffic during my commute, wishing I were in that island paradise eating pastechis and sipping something ice cold.
I have to admit terrorism plots aren’t necessarily my go-to, so when I discovered this adventure had the island inhabitants pitted against drug and Semtex smuggling terrorists, I wasn’t thrilled, but for what it was, I can put my preferences aside and admit Deep Shadow is a compelling read.
I had the Audible version, and found that Nick Sullivan also narrates the book. In some cases having the author narrate can be all kinds of tragic, but to my pleasant surprise, Sullivan does a bang up job with the voices, the pacing, even the accents.
If you’re looking for a suspenseful adventure with some of the richest atmosphere around, Deep Shadow would be a solid choice. The character development and plot are not quite as richly woven as the paradise setting, but if you want a decent story that will transport you to into amazing underwater dive spots, you’ll get that in dazzling turquoise here.
I received this audiobook at no-cost from Audiobookworm Promotions. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
Nick Sullivan has created not only an action-packed thriller in this, the first book in his Caribbean Dive Adventures Series, but also a realistic glimpse into the world of recreational dive operations. His characters are fun, sexy, smart, witty, and great divers. If you enjoy breathing underwater, you’ll love the technically correct depiction of dive scenarios and if you love a good action-adventure story, Deep Shadow is definitely going to become one of your favorites. Well done, Nick!
I’ve learned a lot about diving and about unfamiliar (to me) corners of the Caribbean. I’ve enjoyed this who series, and particularly enjoy the patter between Boone and Emily. Highly recommended!
I would rate this higher than a 4 but not quite a 5.
I googled romantic suspense scuba and was not disappointed!
Stephen King, Vince Flynn, Robert McCammon, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky all share the same audiobook narrator – Nick Sullivan. The man has learned from the best and put his own stamp on this page turning series starter.
As a narrator he is pleasure with the odd exception of the MC British female who sounds so very Australian. She even says “Sweet As!”
Different kind of who done it
Very entertaining, interesting ( and not that far fetched) plot.
great read
This was a book you hate to put down Excellent reading and the different areas in which it takes place are well described
Fun read
