Thriller Actually the author of this is Christopher Golden, writing under Jack Rogan. That was the main reason for me to buy this book, sounded like a [a:Clive Cussler|18411|Clive Cussler|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1225620641p2/18411.jpg]-novel. Could have been shorter, nearly all major characters (5-8?) get a flashback-background story, and I could have done with less. Good use of romance conflicting with job or task at hand, short sex-scenes add to the story, and are ok. At one point I think there is a procedural mistake, where someone sprains his/her ankle and a few short pages later hears it break but nothing is mentioned after that - the person should have been unable to do most of the running around in the book after that. Parts of the story could also have been by the [a:Douglas Preston|12577|Douglas Preston|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1399043352p2/12577.jpg] - [a:Lincoln Child|11091|Lincoln Child|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1241119274p2/11091.jpg]-Duo of writers. Still, except for being to long, highly recommended, to fans of Christopher Golden and Clive Cussler, and also maybe Preston-Child-fans. This novel (by Christopher Golden writing under a pseudonym) was hard to get into and once I did it took me awhile to read it. On the other hand, even though I picked it up and put it down a couple of times, it was easy to do and I never lost the story's thread. The story was a Sci Fi/Thriller/Adventure, though it was more reality based Science Fiction than most Sci Fi. The novel starts with illegal gun runners and the shipping company picking up the guns, but soon the FBI, Navy, DoD and some seriously frightening monsters join the party. Most of the characters were interesting, though a few of them were quite boring and some weren't pleasant. But, even the characters that I didn't love were very well written and all had distinct voices (well, maybe not some of the Navy Sailors, but that's not surprising). My favorite part of the book was the undercurrent of 'who is the undercover FBI agent'. Then, after we find out who it is, there was this sort of secondary feeling of, 'could there be another agent' from another branch of the government? It's a solid thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat, just not as great as some of Golden's other novels. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The Ocean Dark is a riveting novel of suspense from Christopher Golden, author of Tin Men, written under the pseudonym Jack Rogan. In the uncharted waters of the Caribbean, far from the usual shipping lanes, lies a mysterious island surrounded by a graveyard of sunken ships--an island so remote that it's the perfect rendezvous point for a handful of Central American arms dealers and the Antoinette, a gun-smuggling cargo ship out of Miami. Amid the wreckage of ships new and old, the crew of the Antoinette--and the undercover FBI agent on board--enter what looks like a haven for modern pirates, only to discover that it hides something far more terrifying. In Washington, two Department of Defense scientists might understand what is about to happen. On an FBI ship monitoring the Antoinette's illegal trade, armed agents might be able to intervene. But this assumes that the Antoinette's crew survives their first encounter with a creature virtually unknown to man, yet whose eerie songs nevertheless echo down the corridors of mankind's darkest legends.
