Finally, the first three books in the Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure Series have been compiled into a boxed set. These books will take the reader from Jesse’s last day in the Marine Corps, to the Florida Keys, taking on sex slavers deep into the Everglades, fighting terrorists on the coast of Cuba, scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico and back again, with a shootout in Key West and plenty of … action and adventure on the high seas, along the way.
Fallen Out, Volume 1:
When Jesse McDermitt retires from the Marine Corps at age 37, 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.
However, he also knows his way around boats and has an old friend living free 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.
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.
Fallen Palm, Volume 2
Jesse McDermitt lives alone on an isolated island in the Florida Keys where he runs a charter fishing business. Retired from the Marine Corps for six years, he wanted nothing more than to relax, fish, dive and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the islands.
Russ, his former Platoon Sergeant and old friend, dies unexpectedly in a mysterious scuba diving accident and Jesse becomes suspicious. When his friend’s son comes to south Florida to ask Jesse if he would take him to a remote reef to spread his father’s ashes, the two men discover that Russ was murdered and agree to hunt down the psychotic killer together, unaware that their manhunt will lead them to a Caribbean terrorist cell.
Meanwhile, a beautiful woman has returned to the Keys on a manhunt of her own, distracting Jesse with the idea that he could finally leave his warrior past behind. The prospect of finding lost Confederate gold, several high speed boat chases and dodging demented killers, won’t stop Jesse from revenge. Surviving a powerful hurricane puts everything on hold as a top secret government agency tries to recruit him into their fold.
When the sun comes back out, will Jesse be ready?
Fallen Hunter, Volume 3
Jesse’s back in this exciting sequel to Fallen Palm. Grieving over the loss of a loved one to terrorists, Jesse’s been holed up on his island home for months, numbing his mind and body with endless, mundane tasks.
A friend comes to him asking Jesse to help her dad who’s been pressured into running drugs for a Cuban smuggler. Jesse finds out the smuggler is also an arms merchant for Hezbollah, the terrorist organization responsible for the death of someone close. Once again, Jesse looks to settle the score.
Fast boats, beautiful underwater scenery, and blazing guns abound in this fast paced romp through the Caribbean, with stops in Cuba, Key West, and Cozumel, Mexico.

Great story lines, characters and complex situations. Is certainly not Christian fiction – lead characters jump in and out of bed with sexual encounters, and mild profanity. Thank goodness the sex scenes are not explicit but not necessary in my opinion as well as the profanity. All else is wonderful. Had there been more moral values displayed it would have made the books 5 star.
I read the box set was disappointed that it ended so quickly and left you hanging.
Enjoyable read
While reading an enjoyable action-packed novel I learned a lot about the details of the way things operate. Very informative details.
Enjoy these stories…. very good..
Hard to put down
I have read the entire series. Only problem is. Now that I am caught up. I have to wait for the next one.
Enjoyed this series very much.
Great series…reading the last one now
Just got to the second in the series. Good story.
Wayne Stinnett’s Fallen series is a wonderful starter collection for anyone enjoying adventure stories about the Tropics, great brave heroes, villainous villains, and cameraderie. Good light reading, fun for the summer, diverting during the winter. I highly recommend all of Mr. Stinnett’s books, but especially these three.
Fun to read. Interesting characters
All of the Fallen books by Stinnet are very good reads, predictable for the most part, but good reads! I have read to of the Charity books and they are good also. Each book does progress in order but if read out of order its ok.
This is, apparently, a prequel to a series I’ve yet to read. I enjoyed the ‘it’s too bad that bad people happened to encounter me. To bad for them, I mean’ story line.
Love this series!
Love this series. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Just finished book 7.
Like this series. Jesse seems outer loop, but could be real.
I will purchase the rest of this series. Well written action/military adventure at it’s best.
Good Read for holding interest.
Very good,kept my attention all the way through the three books.
