What a ride!  I chose this book when I was looking for Atlantis fiction and, although I had been just a little disappointed with the author's "Tear in Time" (during my time travel phase), the title of this one intrigued me and the reviews were good.  Well, I have to echo the good reviews.  As a matter of fact, after reading this one I immediately downloaded #1 and #3 in his trilogy.The repartee was sometimes a little lame and over-the-top to me but what do I know.The tension was very real and almost constant.  I could especially relate to all those niggling little fears, second guessing and looking over your shoulder that come when you're doing something dangerous by yourself.  Since I kept expecting something bad to happen it made me nervous for Jack.  Then when the emergencies actually arose, I almost found myself holding my own breath.  But things get even worse the next time as his enthusiasm overcomes his good sense once again.  I mean, what sane person would fly 50 miles from land in a small seaplane by himself, anchor it and dive 100 ft. alone?  However, it does make for good drama.  Man against nature in the extreme. It also makes you wonder just how much abuse a human body can take.Once again, I have been happy to find an author who does not use profane language and gratuitous sex to titilate his readers.  I wish they would rate books like they do movies.  I'd give this a PG (except for the stress).  Good job.  Looking foward to reading more.
