Book Description
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Legendary mountain man Shakespeare McNair has seen enough winters in the wilderness to know when something isn't right. And beneath the waters of the lake near his new home, something is definitely off. Nate King and his family can see it too--waves without any wind to create them, a huge force that pulls a fishing pole right from Evelyn King's hands, something malevolent out there...watching them. Shakespeare knows it's just a matter of time before the creature hurts someone. But he's not going to wait around. He's going to go after it himself, even knowing he might not come back....

Wilderness 56: In Darkest Depths
Out of the ordinary, David Thompson has produced a book that stands out from the 'usual' Wilderness Saga. This time, Shakespeare McNair finds adventure on a lake that appears smooth and safe on the surface.
What lies beneath the surface of the lake is Not normal. Even Nate King and his family can see waves without reason, and experience circumstances unexplainable. The unknown draws Shakespeare to investigate and the result surpasses even his knowledge of the world.
Unike many of the other Wilderness sagas, this one will appeal to the Loch Ness crowd or the Sasquatch hunters.
Great book, great author, great mystery. A high note in an already marvelous series that deserves movies and/or TV notice.

Legendary mountain man Shakespeare McNair has seen enough winters in the wilderness to know when something isn't right. Beneath the waters of the lake near his new home, something is definitely off. Waves appeared without any wind to create them, fishing poles are snatched from hands, something malevolent out there...watching them. Shakespeare knows it's only a matter of time before the creature hurts someone, so he's going after it himself, even knowing he might not come back...
A book filled with mystery, strength of character, scenes of excitement and life and death situations, humorous banter, wonder, and beautifully written descriptions of the wilderness...and its weather. Not to mention the emotionally charged moments of coming eye to eye with the creature.
Shakespeare's determination came across extremely well, as did Blue Water Woman's worry for his safety. Strongest of all was their love for each other.
This book doesn't contain any man against man conflict as might be expected from a Wilderness tale but had it had then this, in my opinion, would have detracted from the story of man against the elements and nature - just read the gripping scenes of Shakespeare in a canoe during the storm to see what I mean.
In Darkest Depths is a superbly paced book and WG keeps you guessing as to the identity of just what lurks in the lake and its fate comes as a welcome surprise.
Very highly recommended.
