Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters audiobook now available

May 22, 2018 By Eric Douglas

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters, the ninth thriller in the Mike Scott series, is now available as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon and ITunes.

The story

Armed gunmen board a liveaboard dive boat near Turks and Caicos in this sea story/action thriller. News photographer Mike Scott is on a dive vacation and gets taken hostage when the theft doesn’t go as planned. When the identity of the head pirate is exposed, he declares that all the passengers will die when they reach their destination. It’s up to Mike, the passengers and crew to overcome the pirates and save their own lives. It doesn’t help matters that there is a mole on board feeding the pirates information and they are heading right into a storm. Now they must rebel against the pirates and take the boat back before time runs out…

Turks and Chaos: Hostile Waters is set on a liveaboard trip in the Turks and Caicos. The real trip was hosted by ScubaRadioTM and the story features several show cast members. Greg Holt, Pup Morse and several others lent their voices to the narration as well, so you’ll be able to hear the real characters voice their parts. CJ Goodearl, “the voice of Mike Scott”, served as the narrator.

If you’ve never tried an audiobook but think you might want to give it a shot, this link will let you start a 30 day Audible free trial and you get Turks and Chaos.

Douglas’ Mike Scott series of thriller stories features diving, beautiful locations and the environment.

“I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau on television. When I created Mike Scott, I wanted to inspire people to love the ocean and go diving, just like Cousteau did for me,” Douglas said.

Sunlight Prints

Cyanotype printing, also known as Sunlight Prints, is an antique photo printing technique, first used around 1842. Cyanotypes are made by mixing two chemicals (ammonium iron citrate and potassium ferricyanide) and treating paper, cloth or canvas, making it sensitive to ultraviolet light. The sun turns the chemical blue while whatever is shaded stays white. One of the earliest uses for cyanotype was for naturalists to capture images of plants. The same process is used to create “blue prints” of … Read more
