Title: Fireworks
Author: Paul J. Mila
In Pakistan, a U.S. Navy Seal uncovers a terrorist plot against America, somehow involving the Queen of England. The details are murky, but the potential for death and destruction are terrifying. The CIA and New York police department must work quickly to uncover the details and prevent a disaster. Fireworks, is the third in a series by Paul Mila about Terry and Joe Manetta and their heroic dolphin friend, Notchka. Happily raising their children in the beautiful tourist island of Cozumel, Mexico, the couple is called upon by the NYPD to help prevent a terrorist attack against the Queen Mary and New York City. Notchka's keen dolphin instincts, with help from Terry's training, proves indispensable, but the threat doesn't end there, and the family finds themselves deeply entrenched in the terrorists' plans. Paul J. Mila is an avid scuba enthusiast, with great respect for the conservation of the ocean and the creatures in it, often appearing at speaking engagements on the subject. As well as having written the three books in this series, his underwater photography has appeared in magazines and websites. Fireworks is a cleverly written novel, filled with not only adventure and entertainment, but with many informative facts about every facet of the story, from dolphins and scuba diving, to New York and Cozumel. It is quickly apparent that the author has real experience in the areas of which he writes, which is crucial for producing a novel that involves such specific skill sets. The characters are vivid and each unique, with genuine emotions and interpersonal relationships. The settings, particularly that of the island, are described with an obviously personal appreciation, and talent, by the author. An exciting and fast-paced read, Fireworks is a wonderful book, that gives ample reason to look for the first two in the series!
