    Big Grin Setting the Hook: A Diver's Return to the Andrea Doria

    Hello all,
    My latest book has just been released and I would welcome feedback and reviews. Setting the Hook is a non-fiction diving adventure that follows the history of the Andrea Doria and technical diving and takes place off NY and in the Pacific Northwest. It's available on Amazon (Kindle or Trade Paperback) and bookstores on request. For more info please check out Setting the Hook, a Diver's Return to the Andrea Doria.
    - My apologies for the shameless plug.
    Thanks,
    Peter Hunt

    I started the book today, and the narrative is definitely engaging. Like so many other small circulation books, it could have used a much better proofreader.

    I am about 60 pages in. I like it.

    Interesting to note how the equipment you used changes/improves with the passing of time. A good thing.

    Uhmm..what did Steve do with the steet sign you left for him as a "present?"
