In the Forest of the Dead, where the empire’s worst criminals are exiled, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn are charged with a dangerous task. For they are the Keeper and the Seeker, and each year they must quiet the enraged souls of the damned. Jeff Edwards' Sea of Shadows (Stealth Books 2010) is a marvelous military thriller, especially if you're a SWO officer serving on an American Destroyer. The vaquita, a tiny porpoise of Disneyesque cuteness, is hurtling toward extinction; fewer than 15 individuals remain in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. SEA OF SHADOWS follows a team of dedicated scientists, high-tech conservationists, investigative journalists and courageous undercover agents as well as the Mexican Navy as they put their lives on the line to save the last remaining vaquitas and bring the vicious international crime syndicate to justice. But a terrible secret awaits them at court—one that will alter the balance of their world forever.Editing Rockton 6 (A Stranger in Town) while writing my next YA (coming 2022)HarperCollins • Paperback & eBook • March 2015 • ISBN: 0062071254 Summary Edit.
