TRUE FACT: A live nuclear bomb lies in shallow water off the U.S. coast—one of dozens lost around the world!
Fresh from their adventures in The Keys, Quint’s team gets up close and personal with this truth in the fast-paced adventure, The Pass. The buddy team of Quint and Dawson share the action/adventure genre with Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt and Randy Wayne White’s Doc Ford in this rip-snorting thriller. This twist-and-turn-filled sequel brings back the team that readers enjoyed in Wilem’s first book, pushing them to the limit. Set off the coast of Mississippi with Hurricane Katrina bearing down, the real fun of The Pass is in its returning characters, who must deal with both quirky and life-threatening conflicts as illustrated in this excerpt:
 
“As Quint left Searcher’s bridge, the oppressive reality of the situation sank in. Not only were they being asked to remain in harm’s way  during one of the worst storms to hit the United States in over a century, they were being asked to recover an ancient, unstable nuclear weapon and then run for cover in heavy seas while being chased by heavily-armed terrorists. He picked up the ship’s phone to summon the crew to the mess hall.”
 
But be warned: once you start The Pass, you won’t want to put it down.
