When Jesse McDermitt leaves the Marine Corps, he has no idea what he will do for the rest of his life. He only knows he doesn’t want to spend the coming winter anywhere cold. His greatest skill is killing people from up to a mile away and he knows there aren’t many job opportunities in the civilian world for that.Jesse also knows his way around boats and has an old friend living free and easy in … and easy in the Florida Keys. Being an experienced diver and angler, he immediately heads south toward Key West and the end of the road.
With a single comment, a waitress in a waterfront restaurant in north Key Largo shakes loose a long dormant dream and Jesse runs with it. With the help of friends, new and old, he buys just the right boat to live on and soon starts a part time charter business. Everything is going smoothly, until a Carolina girl and a hurricane hit him at the same time.
Danger lurks in the sleepy little town of Marathon, in the middle of the Florida Keys, as well as in the swamps of the Everglades. But danger doesn’t expect to run into a man like Jesse. A man who will not only respond swiftly in facing it, but with a vengeance unexpected.

Fantastic beginning to the Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure Series! The characters are larger than life and extremely well-developed. Action-Adventure Story-Telling at its finest!
If you want to start an excellent new action adventure series set in the Florida Keys, read Wayne Stinnett’s Jesse McDermitt series. Jesse’s a retired Marine who’s around to help people when the cops aren’t. And Jesse doesn’t have to play by anyone’s rules except his own.
Wayne Stinnett is a master of his craft. This book came highly recommended to me and it is easy to see why. The edition I read is a “2nd edition” that has been expanded and made into a full-fledged novel. Wayne’s experience with the Marine Corps informs the character in a genuine way and gives him realism that makes Jesse come alive. Thanks Mr. …

Love this series! Good Characters and story lines.
Jesse McDermitt is a man retired and following a dream. Sailing and solving “issues” is his forte. This is such a great read. It keeps you involved and makes you want more. A great character and story that is gritty, deep and worth the read. A good single book and a great series! It’s worth the time to read the entire series.
Wayne Stinnett cannot write books fast enough to keep me happy. I have read all of his books that are in print, and would happily read a couple dozen more. Definitely not time wasted!
Fallen Out is another in what has become one of my favorite series of stories. As a friend of Carl Hiassen and Dave Barry -and a former Miami resident – the stories don’t seem as far-fetched as they might to people who never lived in that part of the world. You like the coconut lifestyle? Wanna be a Parrot head? You’re welcome in this part of the …
I am really enjoying this series of books.
Great Florida Keys adventures
Interesting characters. Great adventure.
I decided to read this genre in the fiction category simply because I needed an outlet. Living in a dark and gloomy part of PA with the snow belt at your doorstep gave me a serious case of cabin fever. A series of sun, sand and palm trees was just the ticket. I fell in love with Jesse almost from the start. Since I am a veteran, I love reading …
Couldn’t put it down.‼
The Florida Keys hooked me. Jesse McDermitt reeled me in. I thoroughly enjoyed the details of his military and sailing expertise. Looking forward to reading the entire series.
