Synopsis Dangerous Waters by : Gregory Mone
A stowaway, a stolen book, a murderous villain: an adventure on the most famous shipwreck in history. The great ocean liner Titanic is preparing to cross the Atlantic. On board is a sinister thief bent on stealing a rare book that may be the key to unlocking infinite treasure, a wealthy academic traveling home to America with his rare book collection, and Patrick Waters, a twelve-year-old Irish boy who is certain that his job as a steward on the unsinkable ship will be the adventure of a lifetime. In Dangerous Waters, disguises, capers, and danger abound as the ship makes its way toward that fateful iceberg where Patrick will have to summon all his wits in order to survive.

Synopsis Dangerous Water by : Ron Powers
While Mark Twain remains one of our most quintessentially American writers, the actual boyhood experiences that fueled his most enduring literature remained largely unexplored—until now. Twain's early years were a decidedly un-innocent time, marked by deaths of friends and family and his father's bankruptcy. Twain dealt with those personal tragedies through humor and the tall tale. From the time that a ten-year-old Samuel Clemens lit out on his own and boarded his first Mississippi steamer to his first encounter with a traveling "mesmerizer" (which ignited his lifelong penchant for acting and spectacle), from the brooding sense of guilt and fear of eternal damnation inculcated into him at church to the superstitions and stories of witchcraft he learned from the blacks on his farm, Powers unforgettably shows how Mark Twain was shaped by the distinctly American landscape, culture, and people of Hannibal, Missouri. Jay Parini, the celebrated biographer of Robert Frost, called Dangerous Water "a long-needed evocation of the boyhood of the man who invented boyhood for all time. . . . An immensely shrewd and deeply engaging book, a great gift to all of us who love Twain."

Synopsis On Dangerous Water by : Harold E. Adler
The U.S. Navy needs help locating a renegade submarine in the Pacific Ocean. A World War II German U-boat commander is asked to lend his expertise in hunting down this submarine. He coaches the officers about the sub’s possible maneuvers to attack their frigate. Navy frigate USS Barbey is selected to search for the sub. However, with just a skeleton crew, the frigate is plagued with mishaps, including torpedoes fired by the submarine they seek. A Chinese destroyer gets involved demanding the release of the submarine. Naval tensions rise between the destroyer and the frigate. A nearby New Zealand frigate fires a salvo and the Chinese leave the area. The skipper of the USS Barbey is promoted to Captain and sent on another mission advising an Indonesian frigate demanding the Chinese leave one of their islands. A naval battle ensues. Filled with intrigue and excitement, On Dangerous Water is a story of adventure as battling naval ships fight for their right to own the untamable high seas.

Investigating the discovery of the body, Sergeant Holly Rudd knows she's an unwelcome presence in the close-knit community of Bamfield. But she doesn't expect the residents to be spooked by the mere sight of her. What rattles Holly even more, though, is her overwhelming desire for diver and former Special Forces soldier Finn Carver. Finn has no doubt that the corpse he found while diving was a victim of foul play ? just as there's no doubt that he wants Holly. Now the two will have to come together to outwit a criminal who's already gotten away with murder.

Synopsis Dangerous Water by : Charlee James
She may not be who she thinks she is... Following her parents’ deaths, Elle Devereaux’s world crumbles. With their company bankrupt and under Federal investigation, Elle is forced to pack up a few personal mementos from her happy childhood home and discovers something that triggers a disturbing memory. Research leads her to a Facebook plea from a woman looking for her long ago abducted sister, and Elle’s door to the past cracks open. She needs answers, but will the strong, serious and far too sexy PI who takes her case lead her to her sister or to heartbreak? Police detective turned private investigator Gabe Sandoval is skeptical when a woman claiming to possibly be his partner’s abducted sister arrives at their firm. He’s protective of his partner, who’s about to be married, and has run interference with imposters too many times to count. His years as a big city cop bathed him in cynicism, but Elle is filled with a light that he lost long ago. As they search for answers, Gabe worries he may lose more than he finds. And the case takes a dangerous turn. Can they find the answers before the past steals their happily ever after?

Synopsis Dangerous Waters by : David Philpott
For David Philpott, a successful middle-aged land-developer, the rebellion against his "perfect" life begins innocently enough with his decision to buy a bicycle. Soon he is cycling several miles a day before breakfast; then he decides to bicycle to his annual Florida vacation. The next stop is riding across Canada. This bike journey only whets Philpott's appetite for adventure, however, and soon he becomes preoccupied with the ultimate challenge: a solo sail around the world. From Halifax he sails to Bermuda, the Caribbean, and then out into the Atlantic. During the endless days on the water, Philpott goes back over his life, his attitudes, his accomplishments and dissatisfactions, in a rite of passage that turns into catastrophe when a storm wrecks his boat, leaving him helpless and drifting, running out of food and water, and coming to grips with the increasing certainty that he will die alone at sea.
