Publisher's summary
Sometimes, when you try and do the right thing - it turns into disaster.
Living on an island, miles from the mainland, Mac Travis thought he could disappear. It was a simple life with no worries and fewer bills. Mac was content working his trap lines, fishing the seasons, and diving. That all ended when he and his mate found a turtle laden down with fifty kilos of pure cocaine floating in the Gulf Stream.
What seemed at the time to be a simple rescue, entangles him in a web of deceit and lies. From Marathon to Key West and on to the Dry Tortugas, Mac has no choice but to find a treasure that is better left alone.
Caught in a war between a father and son, Mac and his crew must weave their way through not only the dangerous waters of the Keys and the counter-culture of Key West, but a family history better left buried. Featuring the eccentric characters and locations of the Keys, the ninth novel in the Mac Travis Adventure Series, by best-selling author, Steven Becker is everything you’ve come to expect and more.

The Time Bandit is the fishing vessel that Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand use to hook the "deadliest catch", Alaskan king crabs and opilio crabs, in the Bering Sea, a dangerous body of water that can steal years from a fisherman's life. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving 60-foot waves, gusting winds of 80 miles per hour, unwieldy and unpredictable half-ton steel crab traps, and an injury rate of almost 100-percent.
There are fewer than 400 fishermen of this kind in the U.S., and early death is a common fate. But the Hillstrand brothers are drawn to the drama and adventure of life on the high seas - this is their world.

Mira is a mermaid on a mission. It’s time to leave the ocean. Mira Belshaw has been at sea for...well, she doesn’t know how many years. It’s hard to keep track of time when you live in the ocean. But after enough time, the salt water triggers the desire to procreate, and her time is up. Finding a mate is the most important thing to her right now, and to do that, she has to return to the place where she was last human - the coastal city of Saltford.

Story
It's the most important rule of scuba diving: If you don't feel right, don't go down. So after her father falls ill, 12-year-old Julie Sims must take over and lead two of his clients on a dive miles off the coast of Alabama while her father stays behind in the boat. When the clients, a reckless boy Julie's age and his equally foolhardy father, disregard Julie's instructions during the dive, she quickly realizes she's in over her head. And once she surfaces, things only get worse: One of the clients is in serious condition, and their dive boat has vanished.

Story
Hetta Coffey is a globe-trotting civil engineer with attitude who is working on coming of age, a little late. Pushing forty and still single, Hetta is the epitome of the "B" word: bold, bossy, brassy, breezy, and brash. After leaving a lifelong swath of failed multinational affairs in her jet stream, it is no wonder Hetta prefers living with her dog, R.J. But old habits die hard, and trolling for triceps is Hetta's hobby....

Story
Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time.

another great one
I have to say Steven Becker's writing just gets better. This book had me laughing out loud at certain parts and I can definitely see it made into a movie. I'm trying to think who should play Trufante. An older actor with a famous grin? ... Dennis Quaid? I'm not even sure he'd have to act all that much ;)
The characters in 'Wood's Fury' took me back to the days I managed a metaphysical store. Santeria wasn't my cup of tea but Becker's writing about the religion sounds accurate to me. A character from Mac's past, J.C. shows up and his stumbling navigation thru the rites of the Santeria religion had me grinning and shaking my head.
And yes to my delight, Trufante is a sh*t magnet once again. The shell game that gets played out was when I started thinking that this book would make a great movie. Becker has surpassed Clive Cussler in my opinion and I really hope he keeps writing.
In my opinion, 'Wood's Fury' is a stand alone novel, but it also provided some closure from 'The Inquisitor's Gold: A Treasure Hunting Adventure Anthology' that Steven Becker wrote and Paul J. McSorley narrated. Although the above anthology didn't end on a cliffhanger, I felt 'Wood's Fury' wrapped up that anthology nicely. 'The Inquisitor's Gold: A Treasure Hunting Adventure Anthology' is a crossover of Becker's 'Shifting Sands' series, 'Kurt Hunter' series and the 'Mac Travis' series. As I said though, it's not imperative that you read the anthology before, as 'Wood's Fury' can be listened to as a stand alone.
Paul J. McSorley knocks it out of the park again with his great narration. His voice/accent for Trufante is number one on my list of favorite audio characters. His acting makes Trufante a character you'd love to meet in real life. Albeit a short while, unless you like trouble. Steven Becker and Paul J. McSorley are the perfect combination: great writing and talented voice acting.
I highly recommend this book and series.
