─ Jill Marie Landis – New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of The Tiki Goddess Mysteries and 25 other novels.

"Duncan's imaginative writing style is realistic and puts you right in the middle of the adventure. I can feel the power of the waves and envision myself in the tube surfing with Kai. The tale is about two of my passions–surfing and the environment."
─Sebastian "Seabass" Zietz– Professional surfer, winner Van's Triple Crown of Surfing and lover of the ocean in all its moods.
