Synopsis

In 1944 a mysterious German raider from Hitler’s pirate fleet disappears in the Caribbean. Years later, a Soviet frigate sinks off Grand Cayman Island. A tragedy on the dangerous wintry ice of Lake Erie causes Washington Post investigative reporter Emerson Moore to escape to the Cayman Islands. There, he is drawn into the intrigue surrounding nefarious Jamaican drug lord, Pryce Clarke, and his surreptitious underwater activities in Boatswain’s Bay off of DiveTech. At the same time, Moore stumbles across information regarding the missing German raider and uncovers a deadly Soviet Union plan for the United States during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The provocative cast of characters include Moore’s Ex-Navy SEAL buddy Sam Duncan, legendary Put-in-Bay singer Mike ""Mad Dog"" Adams, an attractive and reticent Jamaican woman, a furtive Royal Cayman Police Superintendent and the rapscallions at Durty Reid’s Bar and Grille in Red Bay. From the wintry ice of the Lake Erie Islands to the warm breezes of the Cayman Islands, The Other Side of Hell delivers a pirate’s treasure of murder, mayhem and suspenseful underwater scuba action with eels, barracuda and jellyfish. Each copy of the book includes a companion 11-song CD entitled The Other Side of Hell, written and sung by popular island singer Mike "Mad Dog " Adams."

Review

Honorable Mention - New York Book Festival

A Great Read! - Clive Cussler

Great Lakes and travel divers may get a kick out of The Other Side of Hell, a 306-page novel from Packard Island Publishing. Ohio author Bob Adamov wove his local turf into a fast-paced plot that takes readers to the Florida Keys and Grand Cayman Island as well. What begins as a nice winter vacation getaway for "Washington Post" reporter Emerson Moore turns into anything but relaxing as he pursues leads on everything from the fictional disappearance of Adolph Hitler's pirate fleet to drug dealers to the Cuban missile crisis of the 1960s, with murders, love, intrigue and general mayhem along the way. Incorporating real-life resorts like Cayman's DiveTech and Sunset House lends realism to the Clive Cussler-style plot. Making it even more believable is a music compact disk that accompanies the book with 11 songs by Put-in-Bay, Ohio, singer Mike "Mad Dog" Adams, who also plays a role in the plot. - Northeast Dive Magazine 

"Rated 5 Stars! " The Cayman Islands each have their own long history, and each bit of that history is filled with mystery. "The Other Side of Hell" follows Emerson Moore as he finds himself in the Cayman Islands involved with a Jamaican drug lord and linked to the Cuba Missile Crisis. A hectic and exciting tale, "The Other Side of Hell" will keep readers glued to the pages all the way through. Also with the book is a bonus music CD from Mike "Mad Dog" Adams. - Midwest Book Review 

The Other Side of Hell, fifth in the Emerson Moore mystery-thriller series by Wooster novelist Bob Adamov, is a colorful crossover between adventure and tall tale, as Adamov peppers the narrative with true-life characters in his tale of stolen Nazi gold and Cayman Island diving action. - Akron Beacon Journal
