"It is refreshing to see, in a genre prone to impossible super-heroic feats., a protagonist whose injuries leave real scars.Water Memory is elevated from its genre moorings by the parallels it draws to classic seafaring literature, including Lord Jim (whose title character's journey is echoed here) and even Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' excerpted for the novel's epigraph. "A deftly crafted and simply riveting read, Water Memory effectively showcases author Daniel Pyne's impressively entertaining narrative storytelling style as a novelist." -Midwest Book Review "A must-read for any thriller fan looking for a different angle into the black-ops world." -Mystery & Suspense Magazine "A flash-bang actioner, limned in rich, organic prose.a classy read." -Booklist "Fans of action flicks will enjoy." -Publishers Weekly "Pyne keeps expertly mixing up his pitches long after you've stopped expecting anything but blazing fastballs." -Kirkus Reviews
