Looking for a Holiday Gift? Here Are Three Great Books

First, how about giving an autographed copy of our publisher, Ben Davison's (writing as KL Smith) scuba thriller, Tropical Ice?

Scuba Diving Magazine calls it a "Must-Read for Scuba Divers." "From shark-feeding gone wrong and thugs on the streets of Belize to corrupt conservationists and a battle on the high seas, this eco-thriller by the editor of dive newsletter Undercurrent is jam-packed with twists and turns that make it hard to put down. While telling the story of Matt Oliver, a travel writer who gets roped into an international mystery, Smith highlights the vicious effects of shark finning and other practices that further the destruction of environmental resources."

Homer Hickam, who trained astronauts to dive and wrote the award-winning film October Sky says "One ofthe best adventure thriller I've ever read and I've read a million. Listen, do you like Clive Cussler? Smith is a better writer than old Clive, and he's actually lived the life he writes about."

We'll send you an autographed copy (or copies) as soon as you order (we'll first email you and ask how you want them inscribed). The price is $14.99 plus $3 for postage. Click here to order. Or, to order from Amazon and read all the great reviews -- and there are more than two dozen -- click here.

Looking for nonfiction? Undercurrent Senior Editor, John Bantin, tells many adventurous tales collected over two decades, including what it was like to be grabbed by a large tiger shark and swum off with, in his fine book, Shark Bytes. He has another book, too, Amazing Diving Stories, a collection of 65 tales. Either is a great choice for that armchair diver on your list.
