After retiring from the service as a decorated Navy Seal, Jim Riley purchased a sport-fishing boat and headed home to Islamorada, in the Florida Keys. The pace of life on the island was slow and easy, until a close friend enlisted Jim's support in rescuing his brother in Cuba. Reuniting brothers was only one facet of this fast paced adventure. The brother Ricardo Balart, himself a high-ranking Cuban official, had discovered a plan for a full-fledged Cuban nuclear program. Foiling the secret Nautilus Project now became a matter of United States national security.

This book is dedicated to my wonderful wife Maria, our beautiful children Laura, Eric and John, and the rest of my clan. Special thanks to my Mom and Dad and my teachers, especially Ms. Timmis, who taught me never to give up, and that imagination has no boundaries or limits. With imagination you are free to journey anywhere and everyday life can become a pure adventure.

If Jimmy Buffet could write a serious novel...,
By Todd Hammer (Islamorada, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nautilus Project (Paperback)
If Jimmy Buffet could write a serious novel, it would be the Nautilus Project. It is filled with local Keys knowledge that I enjoyed learning about. I really enjoyed seeing the world through Jim Riley's imaginative eyes. The last few chapters really kept me up at night. I just had to find out how it ended.Capt. Clive Upchurch
