"David Lyons takes us on a journey of deceit, international intrigue, and the brink of a possible nuclear war... . Judge Jock Boucher is at his very best as he attempts to unravel a bees nest of corruption and greed without getting stung. ...a must read. A great espionage thriller!" - Suspense Magazine
"Lyons adeptly keeps the action fast and furious. Powered by an impressively intricate storyline against a backdrop of a looming apocalypse, the renegade heroics of Boucher - "a one-man wrecking crew" - make this an undeniable page-turner. Literary adrenaline." - Kirkus Review
The third in the critically-acclaimed Jock Boucher mystery thriller, action and adventure series, takes this unique and charismatic protagonist to an explosive new level of action from the very first page.
What connection could there possibly be between a naval carrier fighter pilot's tragic death at sea while flying an experimental aircraft employing a new light wave communication technology, and the terrorist bombing of a funeral attended by the entire federal judiciary of Southeast Louisiana?
Renegade Cajun Federal District Judge Jock Boucher is asked by the President of the United States to search for an answer. Further deaths bring local Detective Madeleine Toussaint, and Jock's best friend, New Orleans Police Detective Roscoe Fitch into the realm of his quest. The trio is led to search for one of the most diabolical antagonists in all of thriller fiction - a naturalized American engaged in espionage, turned traitor against his adopted homeland, an arms dealer and assassin who is planning a nuclear attack on the East Coast of the United States.
With legal strategies that fans of John Grisham will enjoy, military tactics that will appeal to any Tom Clancy reader, and New Orleans southern gothic elements worthy of a Greg Iles thriller, Lyons' newest novel is a fast-paced triple threat, and an exciting treatment of what may be the next conflict facing the United States. To see where America's greatest challenge may lie, look to LIGHT FIRE.
Note to Readers: The High-Intensity Laser Beam Technology central to the military guidance systems used in this book was prophetic when originally published in 2014. That Technology has now been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics, showing once again David Lyons' Thriller Novels are always on the leading edge of Technological Advancement. Accordingly, Waters of Oblivion is being updated and reintroduced under its new name LIGHT FIRE, which coincidentally was the author's working title for Book 3 when originally conceived.
