Mac Travis, a former serviceman and government contractor, gets a suspicious package while out fishing in the Keys. Thus begins the journey to figure out what exactly to do with it. In addition to drugs, the package contains something that later is discovered to be nuclear material.  Both the druggies and the terrorist want the package contents, but for different reasons.  Mac Travis and his friends become embroiled with both, while the druggies and terrorists seek to get their hands on the drugs and bomb making material and Mac and his pals seek to get the materials into the proper hands. If you enjoy reading novels with a mixture of thrill and mystery and enjoy visiting or even reading about the Keys, you will find this book fascinating and satisfying. The author knows his setting well and definitely has experiences that allow him to realistically portray the Keys and all they have to offer. Personally, the keys always have fascinated me, and having this set in this area only makes the book all the more interesting and exciting to read. The twists and turns of the book will keep you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning.  I have not read the other mac Travis book, but this one remains a stand-alone book. Many of the characters from the other book come into play in this book, but it is not necessary to have read the other book first. As I said, I enjoy visiting or just reading about the Keys, so this book was a win-win for me.  I look forward to other Mac Travis books. I received this from Library Thing to read and review.
