“Rick Chesler has interweaved Clancy, Cussler, and Larry Bond in this very taut thriller. Perilous Pacific will give you a Crichton-like twist where you don’t know good guy from bad!” —David L. Golemon, New York Times bestselling author of the Event Group Thriller series and The Supernaturals series

★ Back with a trilogy that showcases his solid writing skills, Rick Chesler, a member of the International Thriller Writers and the author of over 30 thrillers, mysteries, and adventures, has once again found interesting, solid, and unusual settings for each story by drawing on extensive scientific research and his background in marine biology, seamlessly blending scientific knowledge with rich imagination.
★ Praised by renowned sci-fi thriller author Steve Alten, the original author of "Mega Shark," and New York Times best-selling author Jeremy Robinson, the author of "Infinite," "Project Nemesis," and "Island 731," among others.
★ This ingenious, fun, and well-written sci-fi thriller trilogy tells the stories of an ocean live-streaming crisis, a kidnapping case more complex than the double helix structure of DNA, and a madman on an artificial floating island... Each story is independent, and whether read in sequence or separately, they will be both captivating and convincing for sci-fi thriller enthusiasts.

This series consists of three books: "Deadly Depths", "Treacherous Tropics", and "Perilous Pacific".

For fans of Michael Crichton, Clive Cussler, and Tom Clancy comes the exciting re-release of book 3 in the Tara Shores Thrillers!

An artificial island, roaming the ocean, harvesting the sun’s power…an independent nation, ruled by a visionary genius…a crime scene…

For more than a year, Solar Island, the creation of revolutionary engineer Jacob Lightner, has traversed the Pacific Ocean, reaping the sun’s endless bounty of energy and providing electricity to developing nations. But is Lightner a benevolent genius, pioneering a new path to energy independence and sustainability? Or is he a power-hungry despot, intent on using the power of his creation to reshape the political landscape of the Pacific Rim, willing to murder anyone who gets in his way?

Responding to a cryptic message, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores goes undercover to untangle the web of intrigue and oppression that conceals Lightner’s true purpose. But nothing can prepare her for the struggle that will test the limits of her physical, mental and emotional endurance…the battle to control Solar Island in the perilous Pacific.
