Synopsis
"McDermott hooked me in the opening pages. Once again, he delivers everything I've come to expect from this subject matter expert and master storyteller. Trust me. He nails it."
Steven Konkoly, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Garrett Mann Thrillers
Plunge into a high-octane maritime thriller that races from Somalia’s pirate-infested waters to a top secret World War II ‘Doomsday’ weapon lying forgotten on the sea floor.
When Dugan’s ship is hijacked by Somali pirates, he mounts a life-or-death mission to rescue the crew. But the situation takes an even more chilling turn with the discovery of a long-lost German U-boat resting on the ocean floor nearby — a biological weapon of unspeakable devastation in its rusting hull.
As far away governments and local jihadis scramble to control the deadly find, Dugan is pressed on all sides. With time running out and the stakes climbing higher, he must outmaneuver modern-day pirates and ruthless jihadi terrorists, not only to save his crew, but to secure a weapon that could unleash uncontrollable death and destruction across the globe.
Danger is on the horizon. And Tom Dugan has no choice but to steer straight for it.
AN INTENSE READ INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS. FANS OF CLIVE CUSSLER, DAN BROWN, AND VINTAGE CLANCY WILL LOVE THIS LIGHTNING-PACED TALE.
NOTE: THE TOM DUGAN THRILLERS ARE STANDALONE STORIES. THEY MAY BE READ IN ANY ORDER.

Deadly Coast
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In the wake of his best-selling thriller Deadly Straits, which drew comparisons to Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, and W.E.B. Griffin, newcomer R.E. McDermott is back with another action-packed adventure. DUGAN THOUGHT SOMALI PIRATES WERE BAD NEWS. THEN IT GOT WORSE. As Tom Dugan and Alex Kairouz, his partner and best friend, struggle to ransom their ship and crew from murderous Somali pirates, things take a turn for the worse. A US Navy contracted tanker with a full load of jet fuel is also hijacked, not by garden variety pirates, but by terrorists with links to Al Qaeda, changing the playing field completely. With a possible link between piracy and terrorism now in play, the US and British goverments order the halt of all negotiations for captive ships, and enraged pirates ratchet up the mistreatment of the captive crews. When one of their crewman is murdered in front of him on a live video feed, a frustrated Dugan takes matters into his own hands and starts his own rescue operation, only to stumble across something far more sinister - a rogue salvage operation for a long lost weapon of mass destruction. Isolated at sea on an old tanker previously destined for the ship breakers, Dugan and his hastily assembled little force of Russian mercenaries find themselves the last line of defense between the world and a terrifying bio-weapon. Weaving historical fact with speculative fiction, Deadly Coast takes the reader from London board rooms into the very real world of modern day pirates - and their victims.
