Wood's Reef

Mac Travis Adventure Thrillers, Volume 1

By: Steven Becker

Narrated by: Paul J McSorley

"A riveting tale of intrigue and terrorism, Key West characters in their full glory! Fast paced and continually changing direction Mr Becker has me hooked on his skillful and adventurous tales from the Conch Republic!"

It’s easy to become invisible in the Florida Keys. Mac Travis was doing his best to keep a low profile: diving, fishing and enough salvage work to pay his bills. It’s a good life until he discovers something while spearfishing that could change the pristine Keys forever. His drunken crewman soon lets out the secret and his life is instantly changed.

A corrupt presidential candidate will do whatever it takes to hide his secret. An exiled coke dealing terrorist sees this as his opportunity to redeem himself. A local con man loyal only to himself is looking for a quick payoff.

When Mac’s friend and mentor is injured, his estranged daughter reluctantly comes to his aid. The two soon put aside their differences and join forces to bury the secret where it won’t be found.

Very Entertaining

What did you love best about Wood's Reef?

I like the storyline about the 2 nukes being dropped 50 years ago. Stuff like this really did happen and who knows what is out there in the oceans....

What other book might you compare Wood's Reef to and why?

Nothing specific to compare it to. Just a good mystery like a Ken Follett book.

Which character – as performed by Paul J McSorley – was your favorite?

Paul J McSorley did a great job with all the voices. My favorites are Mac and Trufante

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen to Audible books on my way to work and home and would sit in my car longer after I got there to listen to Wood's Reef

Any additional comments?

Entertaining book with a good storyline and characters. Narrator did an excellent job.

Narrator sounds like he's running out of air!

He could use his air tank filled! Story was tedious and was a struggle to finish. sorry

A strong 2nd book to this great series!

The author writes in such a way, that the story just flows. Great storyline with interesting and likable characters. If you love great adventure/action stories you will enjoy this. Highly recommend starting at book one, although not absolutely required. You won’t regret it. The narrator has great timing and flow, doing a wonderful job bringing the story to life.


I have received a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

this 1st book doesn't disappoint 👌

Paul definitely has talent, his narration makes this book 5stars. I've read about the Mac Travis books in other authors books, so I had high expectations starting this book and Steven did not fail . This is a bench rock where alot of good books can come from , looking forward to see what this series has in store.

Mac Travis

Okay let's state the obvious first, Steven Becker is a well rounded writer and Paul McSorley is an AMAZING narrator. Now with that being said Mac Travis kept me on the edge of my seat and I finished listening to it in one day. I fell in love with characters and can't wait to listen to the next one.
