Black Horizon audiobook

I truly love the Jack Swyteck series. I think it's the settings and action that keeps me coming back. My favorite character is Jack and then Theo. These novels are page turners.

** spoiler alert ** Library Audible (To remind me of the sttory)Author clearly rises many legal and US relations unresolved issues in his stories. This one covers US Cuban trade embargo, liabilitiy issues, deep sea drilling issues, polical intigue and the motications plus many other things of interest. Three summers after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, oil is again spewing into the ocean—from a drilling explosion in Cuban waters sixty miles off the Florida Keys, creating a politically complex and volatile situation. Representing an American woman (immigrant from Cuba) whose Cuban husband was killed on the rig, Jack finds himself in dangerous waters when he discovers that his incendiary case may be lethally connected to his new wife Andi's undercover assignment for the FBI . . . and that the looming environmental catastrophe was no "accident" at all. Personally feel sorry for the consortium partners as if it was real life I want want China, Cuba and the others to succeed. In Black Horizon both a previous deep sea oil drilling disaster and the name the FBI uses for their undercover operation into investigating an ex Guantanamo Bay detainee now strongly suspected as the instigator of the computer safety program on the new deep sea oil rig disaster in Cuban waters that is a China / Venezuela/ Cuban 10% US content enterprise., Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck is drawn into the circle of the real criminals. Andi via the FBI is collecting evidence of ex Guantanamo Bay detainee involvement , who turns as as the confirmed instigator finally shot in Cuba by the FBI as he is after the hired help now turned blackmailers. The instigator is only on a personal revenge attack for his false imprisonment, the use of Cuban on the rig to sabotage the sadety program misleading him to it's effect. He only wanted to get to the US by been rescued and taken to Key West as the closest place to go on a rescue. Cubean reported Vivian and her US Floridian Rick are used as well in the cover up to put the blame on Rodriguez the husband. (Who was to blame in actually committing the crime No excuse really "not a love story" at all as love would not put others at risk in the truest sense, opinion) and tyry and make it look like he was alive. Jack's client no longer has a claim and will have to come to terms that her husband in desparation committed a terrible crime with no real excuse. His life long boxing woman friend is drawn in the action and is shot and killed as well. Very sad all round.

An oil rig in the Cuban waters explodes and a young man is presumed dead by his wife - a woman who left Cuba for the United States and hoped her husband would one day join her. Jack is on his honeymoon when the explosion happens and and the oil slick heads for Florida. When the widow asks Jack to find out if the explosion was just an accident or something sinister Jack begins an investigation that sends him to Cuba and multiple brushes with the law in both Cuba and the US.

An oil rig in Cuban waters explodes and causes a huge oil slick heading toward the Florida Keys. Jack Swyteck, lawyer gets a case of a wrongful death of a worker on the rig but does not realize that how entrenched the US Justice department is in this case as well as what was behind the explosion. After kidnappings, murder, etc-he solves the case of what really happened.

Interesting Take on Deep Water Drilling and DangerLike other Jack Swyteck novels O enjoyed the intricacies and interface among characters, especially Andie, Theo and Jack. Interface among law enforcement, legal profession and humor keep me interested as well as smiling. James makes it work.

Classic GrippandoAnother great Swyteck adventure, with a current plot for the basis. Glad to see the usual suspects in the story.

The intriguing storyline of an oil spill off Key West that takes Jack Swytewck to Cuba, Nassau, and Key West in search of answers.

With every Swyteck book, the relationship between Jack and Theo gets a little better and Theo's personality blossoms. This was always a good series but it gets more enjoyable with every new book.

Grippando does it again!!

Anyone who enjoys John Grisham should enjoy these, though quite a lot of the action takes place outside the courtroom.

This was entertaining as well as enlightening into the works of Oil Industry & the courts.

Excellent thriller. Tragic, but excellent.

Jack Swyteck is on his honeymoon when a Cuban oil well explodes, threatening the Keys and the coast of Florida. Jack becomes involved in a lawsuit by a Cuban refugee against the oil companies involved. This case takes Jack and Theo over to Cuba. I enjoy reading the Swyteck series, I like the characters and the action.

OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooh! Good one, Jack!
