"I've been waiting all summer for this release. The author sent me an advanced copy a couple of weeks ago and I was up most of the night with it. Becker has a way of describing the locations in his books in such a way that people who have never been there can easily see it in their minds and those of us who have, are comfortable in the familiar settings. Another great story in the continuing adventures of Mac Travis." Wayne Stinnett, author of the Jesse McDermitt Caribbean Adventure Series "One adventure after another - always wanting the next book as soon as possible. I've read all four of these first books and enjoying every one of them. I scuba dive on occasion and I love the Keys and I enjoy a good mystery. These books satisfy my every need for a book that is not too heavy, not too violent, and keeps me engaged constantly.Mr. Becker writes so clearly that I feel like I'm there - in the book - right along with Mac and the other characters." "As a fan of Florida writing, it's a delightful surprise to find a new - and well written - lead character and series! Becker is one of those, unfortunately too rare, writers who very obviously knows and can make you feel, even smell, the places he writes about. If you love the Keys, or if you just want to escape there for a few enjoyable hours, get any of the Mac Travis books - and a strong drink. Better yet, get all 4, and get ready to immerse yourself in humid heat, saltwater and adventure. Don't forget the tropical drinks!" Bruce Osborne (Amazon Reviewer) "Read this book in one day. The scenes move, and I mean fast. Anything goes in the Florida Keys and this story captures the essence. Good descriptions, unique characters and a plot that could be taken from the news headlines. I'm a fan of Florida fiction and Steven Becker is now on my "to-read" list" Ed Robinson. Author of "Leap Of Faith/Quit Your Job And Live On A Boat" I have great memories of the Florida Keys from when I first started visiting in the late 80's. Wood's Relic is set in the early 90's before cellphones and the internet took over our lives. Things were different then - simpler and slower. It was fun writing about my memories of a great era through Mac's eyes as he first sees the Keys. I hope you enjoy the story of how Mac and Wood met.  August 2016 The book was originally released with a cliff-hanger ending. After many complaints and bad reviews, I have added an additional chapter and re-edited the entire manuscript. When not writing about his experiences, Steven Becker can be found SCUBA diving, fishing, and boating the beautiful waters of the Caribbean and the Florida Keys.
