Free Read - Black Gold

[CaptnZ]

I didn't see any specific forum for books and movies on this site, so this looked like a good place to post.
I am publishing my novel "Black Gold" at different diving sites to share with fellow divers as I finish my final polish before publication.
I'm hoping to get some input on the dive scenes from divers more experienced than myself as I've only logged around 100 dives and all in open water.

A “Too Good To Be True” offer for Chas Gordon to lead three men on a cave dive proves to be just that when he and his girlfriend, Danni Calan, are forced to help them enter the gold filled Florida Treasury vault room through the dark, watery cave system over a hundred feet beneath the ground.


I'm attaching the prologue and first two chapter links, the next two chapters can be found on my website -

Appreciate any input on the project.

Chapter 6 is on my website now.

In the first draft of this novel, the church was a giant edifice in gleaming marble and had attracted the notice of a conniving bishop looking to place his nephew in the Pastor's position. As I review and polish the novel I wonder if I made the right move to downsize the church. Any thoughts on this?

How do you feel about the difference between a small town Pastor struggling to keep his church as opposed to a successful Pastor battling a political bishop?

Let me know.

Thanks,
Brian

For anyone who saw the National Geographic Special many years ago, that was what led to the concept for this novel. I was impressed with the use of tracking devices to map progress of the divers from above ground, through a diner, across roads and finally ending at the small sinkhole in the woods.
