The Jack Strider Thriller Series:

GROUND TRUTH

DEEP TIME

NO RETURN

"Wild ride, in-depth characters, compelling plot, cutting-edge issues." Marq de Villiers, prize winning author, Order of Canada award.

"Masterful, high-stakes suspense thriller." Lisa Turner, best selling mystery writer, Edgar Award nominee.

A disaster lurks beneath the ocean floor.

A riveting Jack Strider suspense

Deep in the Earth's crust beneath the Pacific Ocean lies an ancient site likely to be the birthplace of life on our planet . . .

And a portal into unimaginable forces and incredible wealth . .

A place where large ships mysteriously disappear, including the vessel carrying Jack Strider's goddaughter, Katie . . .

A greedy energy baron risks everything to pursue vast supplies of power trapped deep in the Pacific Ocean sea bed off the Oregon coast. But the man's psychopathic scheme is about to launch a terrifying tsunami that will destroy the entire west coast of the United States. Strider's beautiful, brilliant partner in law and love joins the fight, and Jack leads a desperate attack on the largest offshore platform ever built. Jack Strider may be the only man who can stop the disaster that is already underway . . . or maybe no one can.

Rob Sangster's first Jack Strider novel, GROUND TRUTH, was #1 on Amazon Kindle. His second, DEEP TIME, won the 2017 EPIC Award for best suspense/thriller of the year. A Stanford lawyer with experience in finance, politics, and public service, he's an avid sailor who has travelled to more than 100 countries. Rob and his mystery writer wife divide their time between their homes in Tennessee and on the wild coast of Nova Scotia.

Rob Sangster Website - www.robsangster.com

Chased by a Cape Buffalo in Botswana and then by a corrupt governor in Tennessee. Abducted by a black market money changer in Mombasa. Spent one New Years Eve in Paradise Bay, Antarctica; another in the Himalayas. And throw in swimming with Humpback whales, spending the night on top of a Mayan temple in Tikal, Guatemala, and traveling in seven continents and more than 100 countries - all of which were more important to him than earning the last possible dollar. And that attitude led inevitably to . . . becoming a writer.

Rob's first novel, Ground Truth, will soon be followed by an adventure with a wildly different plot featuring three of the same key players. Now living half of each year on the coast of Nova Scotia, his curiosity about the far corners of the world remains undiminished, but he's hooked on fiction.

Publications:

- Traveler's Tool Kit: How to Travel Absolutely Anywhere, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection.

- Traveler's Tool Kit: Mexico & Central America (2008) won a national award.

- He wrote a weekly newspaper column titled On the Road Again and delivered weekly essays on public radio. He's written regularly for various national travel-related publications and was Travel Editor for GORP, a large adventure travel web site (gorp.com).

Education: BA from Stanford University, MA at the UCLA School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and JD from Stanford Law School. Admitted to practice in California and before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Work: Disguised in a three piece suit, he practiced law for a several years and then administered national subsidized housing programs from Washington, DC. He returned to the private sector to develop multi-family and single-family housing for lower income persons.

As sidelines, he also operated three restaurants, started a non-profit foundation that donated equipment to disinfect contaminated water in less-developed countries, and took 30,000 photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEEP IDEAS IN DEEP TIME
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2015

Rob Sangster's latest novel, Deep Time, is based on the "real science" of hydrothermal vents, a renewable source of energy available in our oceans.
Embedded in this suspenseful and dramatic "thriller," are some surprising and provocative scientific concepts that raise questions relevant to our lives today. Can hydrothermal energy replace our old, non-renewable energy sources? Could life could have arisen spontaneously in our oceans from the combination of different chemicals? In this exciting and educational story, the author weaves together the strands of a powerful love story with dramatic and violent engagements at sea and enough suspense for three novels! Readers will appreciate the carefully drawn characters who are also featured in his previous novel, Ground Truth. The co-equal protagonists are Jack Strider, a Stanford lawyer, former law professor, rock climber, sailor, and risk seeking adventurer, and his lover, a gorgeous, sexy, silky-black-haired karate queen, who is a brilliant and accomplished lawyer in her own right. Strider's sidekick, Gano, is another crazy risk taker who provides some comic relief but is also a world class class adventurer. Once you start reading Deep Time, don't expect to get much sleep as you will not be able to put it down! Strongly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good science, interesting characters
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2017

Good book. I learned enough about the science of thermal vents to dig into that science more. Good character development.. most of the characters carry over from the first novel, and it helps in understanding the hero's character to know that he's got father issues and a resulting ambivalent attitude towards lawyering. Lot's of pages devoted to epic fights for those that like that kind of stuff ( I don't particularly... rather like the required car chases in a certain genre of films). But it's the science and the characters that carried my interest.

I didn't like this book as much as the first one. I enjoyed seeing the three main characters from the first story and the addition of Molly was nice. I thought the story was too long and Jack was just too crazy with the chances he took and situations in which he found himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read.
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015

Once the narrative gets in gear, Deep Time just takes off. It is a compelling read. Plot, action, pacing, characters and important ideas are all powerfully presented and interestingly interwoven. The plot is tense and consistently drives forward. The action scenes are vividly described; after an opening confrontation at sea which anticipates the major actions to follow, their forms ratchet up from barroom brawls to torpedoes, missiles, even tidal waves. The major characters have a pleasing depth; the reader has a sense of why they are as they are; in both Jack Strider and his girlfriend there are internal conflicts between idealism and self-interest which make them complex and sympathetic. Their romantic attraction adds vibrancy to the action. The issues which the novel confronts are also of extreme importance: the way in which the virtues of capitalism can be perverted, the threat and the science of global climate change, and the role of the national political process in these problems. Indeed as the novel progresses, mankind’s very survival is at stake. All the elements of a great story are powerfully combined in Deep Time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Methane fueled
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017

A mostly compelling thriller featuring Jack Strider, his sidekick Gano, and his partner (in several senses) Debra, with a villainous Barbas. The central premise is that immense reserves of methane hydrate lie under the Pacific crust; but mining them involves great risk of upheaval and tsunami. The good guys win out, of course, but with many exciting feats of derring-do. The prose is serviceable, the characters thick cardboard, but the plot moves on compellingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars "DEEP TIME" is a winner! Well written, timely, and entirely plausible.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015

Wow, what a read! It takes off from the first chapter, grabs the reader by the throat, and doesn't let go till the very end! The topic is torn from today's front pages (energy sources and seabed mining). The book is eruditely and compellingly written, with well developed characters that are believable and the reader cares about. The protagonist Jack Strider is a San Francisco lawyer who is inherently a pacifist but also happens to be handy with guns. His law partner is also his very significant other, who is trying to keep their law firm together. Any more details would spoil the story. Don't plan on reading this book a chapter at a time - it's one to be devoured in one or two sittings (turn off the phone!).

One of the interesting aspects of this book is how much I learned from it - for example: methane hydrate, isopods, Moebius Syndrome, clathrate gun hypothesis.

I truly did not want to finish the book, and can't wait for the next Jack Strider novel. This would also be a great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Time, Deep Trouble, Deep Action
Reviewed in Canada on July 13, 2015

This is the second outing for Jack Strider and his “very significant other”, Debra Vanderberg, and we can only look forward to others to follow. This time Strider is up against an even more significant villainy – last time, an unscrupulous tycoon risking safety and health with his illicit stowage of high-level nuclear waste, this time an even greedier energy baron risking a major catastrophe to liberate a vast quantity of energy stored in the deep ocean crust in the northeastern Pacific. Sangster has a terrific eye for the all-too-plausible (and hot-button) environmental issues of our time, but these are not just preachy issue novels; Sangster also has a great way with fast-paced action sequences and nail-biting suspense. Another great read.
