All the essence of diving at the cusp of the technical revolution is here. Forget biographies by 20-something pop stars or TV actors with mediocre lives; this is the life of a man who was out there pioneering and discovering. … This book is utterly marvellous and deeply interesting.

My life as a Scots lawyer seemed to consume me after those two last books were published in 2003, and I wrote no more until I retired from law aged 50 in 2010. Suddenly I now had a lot of free time and it just felt natural to return to writing. My first post-retirement book was called The Darkness Below and was published in 2011. This book picked up the story from the end of Into the Abyss, charting more of our adventures as diving moved forward from open- circuit trimix diving to closed-circuit mixed-gas rebreather diving. It again got great reviews – my favourite being from Divers Inc in 2012:

Even the name of Rod Macdonald’s latest book has the air of a thriller novel; and if you’re a dive junkie like me, then that’s exactly what it is.
