This review is from: Blind Waves (Kindle Edition)
Just a brilliant story. I couldn't put it down and immediately looked to see if the author had written more in the Patricia Beenan series. I wish he would

Excellent!,
By Mike Giroux - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blind Waves (Hardcover)
A fine book by the author of _Jumper_, _Wildside_, and _Helm_. This is an interesting adventure set in a near-future world where an Antarctic ice shelf collapse has flooded the world's low-lying regions and created a massive refugee problem, making the INS the second-largest branch of the armed forces. Like flying in _Wildside_ or aikido in _Helm_, there's a "central skill" to the book, and this time it's diving and submersibles. It's interesting material, and it's well integrated into the story. Definitely recommended, as are his other books. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

A Thrilling, Engrossing Read,
By Craig Milo Rogers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blind Waves (Hardcover)
Wow! Steven Gould has written another thrilling novel! Set in a near future of flooded continents and floating cities, once the story starts to run it just does not stop. Social consciousness, ecology, romance, and an abiding love for the Bard are cleverly woven together with personal submarines, fast ships, and flying bullets. The characters are well thought-out, both in their descriptions and their interactions.As in Mr. Gould's previous novels, there's a unifying theme; in this case, underwater travel. And if the protagonists aren't diving in a submarine or swimming their way to and from danger, they're zipping back and forth in boats on the surface. Also as in *Jumper* and *Wildside*, a large government agency, in this case the INS, figures prominently in the plot. The scary thing is, I find this part of the scenario an all too plausible extrapolation of present-day events. Foodies, beware: there's a restaurant in this book that ought to be real, and I hope someday I find myself in it. Now that I've read this book, I'll just have to keep on rereading it, and *Jumper*, and *Wildside*... until the next Steven Gould novel comes out! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Another great story from Steven Gould,
By Pat Nagle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blind Waves (Hardcover)
BLIND WAVES is another wonderful read from the author of JUMPER. The technical problems and solutions are fascinating, and the relationship between the two main characters develops beautifully. With references to Shakespeare sprinkled throughout, this is a smart, sophisticated story, yet it doesn't exclude any reader. Even if you hate Shakespeare, you'll still love this book. Really a great read.
