DEPTH CHARGE (Jack Kincaid Thriller Series Book 8)
Deep in the Gulf of Mexico, a Cold War ghost has surfaced. And the sharks are circling…
Jack Kincaid is laying low, trying to find peace on his boat along Florida's quiet Gulf Coast, the echoes of past betrayals and global conspiracies still haunting him. But peace is short-lived. A desperate government official pulls him back into the shadows with an off-the-books mission of staggering importance: retrieve or neutralize a lost Cold War spy satellite, Argus Eye, recently uncovered by geological shifts deep beneath the waves.
The stakes are astronomical. Argus Eye doesn't just hold outdated secrets; it contains Project Chimera, a potentially functional and devastating EMP weapon capable of crippling modern technology on a massive scale. The leak is out, and a frantic race is underway. Ruthless salvage crews, foreign powers, and the deadly, omnipresent Ouroboros syndicate are all converging on the site, eager to claim the ultimate techno-thriller prize – either for strategic dominance or to sell to the highest bidder on the rogue nations list.
Posing as 'Jake Cole,' a hard-luck salvage diver, Kincaid immerses himself in the gritty maritime underworld of a remote Gulf Coast port town. He quickly confirms the race is real and already deadly after surviving a brutal underwater ambush by professional killers guarding the deep-water wreck site. To get back to the prize, he's forced into a precarious partnership with 'Red' Malone, a legendary, hard-drinking treasure hunter whose expertise is matched only by his questionable motives.
Battling violent Gulf storms, confronting Ouroboros's elite operatives in disorienting underwater combat two thousand meters down, and ultimately facing a stunning betrayal when trapped in the crushing depths, Kincaid must rely on pure instinct and desperate improvisation. Can he neutralize the EMP threat before Ouroboros secures it, and somehow make it back to the surface alive?
DEPTH CHARGE is the eighth explosive novel in the Jack Kincaid spy thriller series. Delivering a thrilling blend of John D. MacDonald’s maritime grit and atmospheric tension with Elmore Leonard’s sharp characters and sudden violence, this action thriller takes you from tense dockside whispers to claustrophobic deep-sea battles. A must-read for fans of high-stakes conspiracy thrillers, underwater action, and non-stop espionage adventure.
