A Note From the Publisher
Dr. James Lindholm dives deep for his inspiration. His novels are based on a foundation of direct, personal experience with the undersea world. He has lived underwater for multiple 10-day missions to the world’s only undersea laboratory and has even found himself alone on the seafloor staring into the eyes of a hungry female great white shark. Along with his ocean adventures, Lindholm has drafted text for an executive order for the White House and has briefed members of the House and Senate on issues of marine science and policy. He works as the Chair of the Department of Marine Science at California State University, Monterey Bay. James Lindholm’s diverse writing portfolio includes textbooks, peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, and the Chris Black series of action/adventure novels.

Dead Men’s Silence is another action-packed Dr. Chris Black adventure (3rd in the series) that brings the reader face-to-face not only with eco-terrorism but also with modern day piracy in the wild west of the international oceans. Dr. Black has been tasked with assisting a CMEx (Monterey Center for Marine Exploration) international student research project in the Galapagos Islands where the adventure begins. Along with the action we are treated to insights about some the incredible sea life of the area. Another treat for the reader – a must read for anyone interested in adventure and marine biology!

Marine Biologist Chris Black takes on a voyage with assorted international college students to the Galapagos Islands to study the marine life there. Not only does the team run into self-styled ecological protestors (for this group can't tell a scientific expedition from destructive actions), but also pirates.
I appreciate that there is a brief discussion among the major characters in the book about why people feel that have to become pirates.
This book is thoughtful, educational and action-packed. I will definitely look forward to reading more of the Chris Black adventures.
This book is very well written and plotted. I truly enjoyed the marine biological aspects of the story. I found all of the tech equipment very interesting. I like to read books that teach the reader something while also being entertained. This is just my kind of book. I have not read James Lindholm's Chris Black novels before, but I will certainly rectify that now.
I want to thank NetGalley and CamCat Publishing/CamCat Books for forwarding to me a copy of this great book for me to read, enjoy and review.
