John H. Cunningham has released another exciting book “INDIGO ABYSS“, #9 in the Buck Reilly Caribbean Adventure series.

Synopsis: The times we are living in have forced Buck Reilly to question his purpose in life. Once a world-renowned archeologist and treasure hunter who lost everything, Buck had fled to Key West to operate Last Resort Charter and Salvage aboard a pair of antique amphibious aircraft. 

Finally tired of being broke, Buck digs out his old maps, clues, and research to some of the world’s most lucrative missing treasures to start afresh. Until one of his worst enemies shows up to demand help in finding the missing Queen’s Dowry that sank with eleven Spanish Galleons in 1715 off Florida’s east coast. They have his brother hostage and will kill him if Buck refuses or fails. 

The ensuing odyssey pits him against the people who had cost him his former success, family, wealth, and led to his self-exile to Key West. But there is no escaping this time. The rocky road takes a surprise and brutal path that leads to mind blowing discoveries and a life-or-death confrontation that blows Buck’s reclusive world irrevocably apart.

John H. Cunningham, author of the popular island-hopping Buck Reilly adventure series, has a new novel out today sure to please historical fiction and political enthusiasts alike. Blending history, politics and the power of the human spirit, Cunningham’s latest novel, The Last Raft explores America’s perennially fraught relationship with immigration, and with Cuba – both of which have been exploited for political gain for decades, at the expense of the people from both nations.

Five desperate people flee Cuba aboard a homemade raft following the exodus of 100,000 countrymen. Their collective desperation is woven into a complicated, yet beautiful imbroglio of faith, dreams and desire that in the end will unite or destroy them all.

From a vengeful despot, to self-serving politicians, to everyday people willing to risk everything to start a new life, Cunningham’s characters blend compelling fictional and historical figures. They include:

Juan –Initiating the journey, he sells lies to convince the others to join him on the raft.

Senator Spinelli, who manipulates the emotions of Cuban American dreamers for self-enrichment and power.

Fidel Castro – A double-dealing despot who will stop at nothing to avenge the exodus.

President Winslow –who risks the pinnacle of success to change the future.

Terri Turner – the president’s shrewd Chief of Staff goes into the lion’s den to negotiate what nobody else has been able to do since the Cuban Revolution.

Cunningham’s action-packed, thrill-seeking series finds Buck on the run for his life with Giselle Huibert, the youngest French First Lady in history.

Buck’s vacation in the Virgin Islands goes downhill fast when he witnesses a helicopter crash over the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Buck races to the rescue, but the lone survivor—a beautiful woman—has amnesia. When Buck learns the woman is the First Lady of France, who fled her husband while at the G8 Summit on St. Thomas for reasons she cannot remember, Buck has no choice but to try and help her. However, Giselle refuses to let him call the police—even when it becomes clear that men intending to kill them are hot on their trail.
