“Both delicate and powerful, The Drowning Bay is a thrilling ecosuspense that weighs personal accountability against a global responsibility.”
~Lauren Rico, award-winning author of the Reverie trilogy, a psychological thriller series, set in the world of competitive classical music.
“Geoffrey Wells has done it again! The Drowning Bay is compelling from beginning to end. This book, the third and last in Wells’ Trilogy for Freedom, continues Allison’s story as she tries to rebuild her life after her time in prison. She soon finds herself on a suspenseful trip into the world of ecological terrorism. Wells is adept at mixing genres, so there is plenty here for fans of thrillers, suspense, romance and action. One of the things I enjoy most about Geoffrey Wells’ books is that I am entertained and educated, while also prompted to think about some interesting ideological questions. While reading The Drowning Bay, I thought a lot about the topic of law-breaking for the greater good, and whether altruism at large is more important than those people in your inner circle. I can’t recommend The Drowning Bay highly enough!”
