Silent Waters

Author’s Note

Thank you for allowing us to take you on this undersea journey. We hope it was a suspenseful ride. We loved the characters of Darius and Amy. And many of you have been writing to us asking for a sequel. Silent Killers—our working title for the sequel — is in the works as we write this letter. We are planning to bring back Darius, Amy, Sarah, and Bruce to stop another potential world disaster.

The two of us have fifteen years of experience building nuclear submarines, working at Electric Boat in Groton and at Quonset Point in Rhode Island. Because of that background, writing this book wasn’t entirely a product of our imaginations. At the same time, we had to take many liberties with details of the submarine to make the story come together. After all, this is fiction.

We’d like to think we live in a world where diplomacy can be used more effectively than our most dangerous weapons of war. With any luck, our world’s leaders will rise to the rapidly changing challenges that face us in this new millennium. Let’s hope!

As authors, we love feedback. We write our stories for you. We’d love to hear what you liked, what you loved, even what you didn’t like. We are constantly learning, so please help us write better stories. You can write to us at JanCoffey@JanCoffey.com and visit us on our website at www.JanCoffey.com.

Finally, we need to ask a favor. If you’re so inclined, we’d love a review of Silent Waters. Loved it, hated it, just love the feedback.

As you may have already know, reviews can be difficult to come by these days. You, the reader, have the power now to make or break a book.

Thanks you.

Nikoo and Jim
