Old Line Publishing Fiction Blue Water, Blue Island

The coral reefs around Hawaii are being threatened by the activities of a secret enterprise attempting to tap into the extensive heat pockets of the earth’s core for unethical reasons. Dr. Chad Gunnings, an aquatic ecologist with the Phoenix Environmental Research Institute, teams with a marine biologist from Hawaii and an anthropologist from Alaska, to investigate the accelerated fatality rate of the coral. The three scientists face dangers from denizens of the reefs, a ruthless fanatic, and a mysterious woman with unprecedented skills in martial arts. Chad and his colleagues must rely on each other to solve an environmental mystery that not only threatens their lives and the diverse marine life of the islands, but also the rich cultural history of Hawaii.
