Blackwater Sound by James W Hall

Blackwater Sound by James W Hall

The Braswell family had everything people would kill for: money, looks, power. But their eldest son, the family's shining light, died in a bizarre fishing accident. And when he disappeared--hauled into the depths by the giant marlin he had been fighting--he took with him a secret so corrupt that it could destroy the Braswells.

Ten years later, a huge airliner crashes in the steamy shallows off the Florida coast, killing all aboard. Helping pull bodies from the water, Thorn finds himself drawn into a bizarre conspiracy: someone has developed a high tech weapon capable of destroying electrical systems in a powerful flash. The terrorist potential is huge. How are the secretive Braswells and their family-owned company, MicroDyne, involved? And what does it have to do with the family's obsessive hunt for the great marlin that killed their golden boy?

With the Braswells, James W. Hall introduces one of the most evil and dysfunctional families in the history of fiction. And, along with Thorn, he brings back favorite characters from his earlier books, including Alexandra Rafferty and her father, Lawton Collins, a retired and increasingly dotty former police investigator whose methods of investigation result in his kidnapping. A story that bristles with all the heat and tension of a tropical Florida summer, Blackwater Sound is destined to rank among the greatest suspense thrillers of the new decade.

James Hall is the son of missionaries John and Cuba Hall, with whom he spent 8 1/2 of his growing up years in Burkina Faso, West Africa. He was active in student ministries in high school and the University of Missouri, where he received a BA in English Literature. He graduated from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1970 with a Master of Divinity. Since then he has served as Chi Alpha Director for the Illinois District Assemblies of God (6 1/2 years) and as senior pastor of Urbana (Illinois) Assembly of God (9 1/2 years). After several teaching trips to Singapore, Jim and his family spent a year on the pastoral staff of Calvary Charismatic Centre (A/G) in Singapore, where he began writing materials for new Christians. After years of careful study of the Scriptures, much thought, and countless personal witnessing and discipling exchanges, God birthed in Jim's spirit guidelines and lessons for expressing God's love and message to the lost, and lessons to guide new believers in mentoring relationship. These were published under the title The Harvester's Handbook (recently re-edited and renamed THRIVE - A Handbook for New Christians). Since 1989, Jim has answered God's call to train church members nationwide and overseas in personal evangelism and discipling new believers. In March 1992, the Halls received appointment as U.S. missionaries with the Assemblies of God and continue in this role. SENT! to your neighbors is a new resource that focuses specifically on reaching non-followers who are already in a believer's world.
