1) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. This is an exciting, fast paced story with a surprisingly interesting look at United States foreign relations over the last quarter century. Two dashing heros, an evil villian and a government conspiracy. Great fun to read!¤ 2) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. Torchlight is one of the most intelligent and well-written techothrillers you´ll ever read. Hands down. And the diving sequences are truly remarkable. The author´s extensive experience as a deep cold water wreck diver really shows. Highly recommended!¤ 3) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. As a scuba diver, I loved the underwater descriptions. However, the rest of the plot was boring, predictable,
and somewhat ridiculous.¤ 4) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. I did not like this book at all. The story takes forever to unfold.¤ 5) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. Being a scuba diver, I pick up the book just for the diving aspect. I realized that the book encompassed a lot more than just diving. The book was well written and moves along at a very quick pace. I would enjoy to read and sequels or books by this author.¤ 6) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. A billion in gold. Two expert divers. One deadly mission. "Great news for those who like tense, complex thrillers. . . . Judging by this well-constructed and thoroughly enjoyable debut, Robert Louis Stevenson has inherited some of his namesake´s storytelling gift".--"Publishers Weekly".¤ 7) Hardcover Book Torchlight by Putnam Adult. With a double dose of literary heritage--he claims both the author of Treasure Island and poet Hart Crane as ancestors--Robert Louis Stevenson III would seem to have been born to be a writer. But this particular Stevenson first found fame as a scuba diver specializing in exploring sunken wrecks such as the Andrea Doria, and it´s this side of his brain that makes Torchlight so fascinating. Every technical detail of his story about two former Navy SEAL divers who get involved in a scheme to loot a billion dollars in gold from a sunken World War I warship rings true, and Stevenson has inherited enough writing skill to make his characters come alive.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
