Deep below the deceptively beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean, guarded by hundreds of dolphins, lie the astonishing remains of a mysterious lost city much like the legendary Atlantis.
While mapping the ancient underwater metropolis of Marinth, marine architect Hannah Bryson makes a shocking discovery: She may have finally uncovered the truth about the once-glorious city’s mysterious demise. Marinth’s sudden disappearance has confounded scientists for years, but now, with the revelation of a key artifact, Hannah realizes that the long-buried city’s explosive secret could have dire consequences for the modern-day world.
But she isn’t the only one who realizes it. The artifact is hijacked, and Hannah stands alone between a power-hungry enemy and widespread destruction. Willing to form whatever alliance is necessary to regain control of this potentially world-changing weapon, Hannah joins forces with Nicholas Kirov, a loose cannon from her past who is now her best hope for survival. Together they will race to unravel Marinth’s last great secret in order to prevent a catastrophe of global proportions. And before the lethal game is over, Hannah will realize that nothing and no one is what she expected, not even the dolphins, who know so much more than anyone could imagine.
Shadow Zone is fast-paced and cutting edge. Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen have raised the bar again in this blood-pumping thrill ride.

"It was a really good book. I loved the under water city plot and how they developed it. I really liked all the characters in the story. I didn't see the ending coming but was very glad at how it turned out."
— Jannene (5 out of 5 stars)
" Good, but not great. I think the books Iris Johansen writes without Roy Johansen are better. "
— Lorie, 2/14/2014" Meh. Not that good. Not that bad. Predictable. "
— Cynthiaj, 2/11/2014" Liked the implied linkage to Atlantis and its' disappearance. A quick, predictable read! "
— Bev, 2/8/2014" It started off good...had some really good moments; but lost some of the pizzaz as it went along. I changed my rating from 4 stars to 3. Sorry Iris & Roy! It lost momentum for me. "
— Charlene, 2/3/2014" Another "run-of-the-mill" thriller but entertaining nonetheless. I found a couple of the characters to be intruiging, while others a little predictable. Still, it was a fun read. "
— Michelle, 1/21/2014" Quick summer read...another St. Kilda adventure, this time on the high seas, with a dash of romance for good measure. "
— Christa, 1/20/2014" A not very believable story with shallow not very believable characters. But then again, it filled a few hours. "
— Debi, 1/7/2014" Only mildly trash-like. It held my interest during a turbulent flight back from California and was good enough for a do-nothing day; killed the time between naps! "
— Robin, 12/22/2013" Good, liked reading about Melis again, Fatal Tide was an awesome read! "
— Danielle, 12/20/2013" Kept me captivated as usual! I finished this book in 1 day!! "
— J., 12/14/2013" Terrorist spy thriller that takes includes an underwater city, but fails to pull all the pieces togehter. I read it, but was glad it was finished. "
— Joel, 10/28/2013" I am really enjoying the books written by Iris and her son Roy. It was lovely to see Hannah and Kirov and Melis back again - and to see Connor's son growing up way too fast, but adorable. "
— C.G., 3/4/2013" It was ok but not my favorite of her books by far. "
— Shari, 10/4/2012" Good story.... a page turner.... "
— Azhuffys, 8/21/2012" This series is not my favorite of Iris, who is a favorite author. I do't know if it's because she's co-writing or if it's the series, but not my favortie. "
— Stephanie, 8/10/2012" A rather formulaic adventure story. Enjoyable, but unremarkable. Good to read, but I will not remember the plot in a day or two. "
— Amy, 6/14/2012" Lot intensity in this book. "
— Malia, 3/18/2012" Same ol same ol "

— Joe, 2/19/2012" Shadow Zone was just an OK read. The main characters just did not catch my interest. However, I thought the premise of the story was good, and I wanted to finish it to find out what happens. "
— MaryO, 11/13/2011" Not the most exciting thing ever, but I loved that it has a great plot, and what do you know it didn't need a ton of sex and brutal killings to tell it. Yay! "
— Margaret, 11/1/2011" Really like Iris' ability to draw you in "
— Sonja, 9/29/2011" Good story.... a page turner.... "
— Azhuffys, 4/19/2011" Listening to this on CD. <br/>Hannah is a marine architect. Kirov is a mysterious man. Ancient Marin is of interest. The bad guy gets some algae from Marinth and is going to use it to take out the water and fishing industries in certain nations. "
— April, 4/5/2011" Don't waste your time and money. "
— Bob, 3/5/2011" A not very believable story with shallow not very believable characters. But then again, it filled a few hours. "
— Debi, 2/7/2011" I needed a book that was not about feelings. This fit that need and was pretty good. It's what we like to call an "airport novel." "
— Megan, 1/11/2011" I liked this book - however Ithought that the main character plot was very similar to other books that they combined on. If you like the Clive Cussler type of ocean adventure this is very much that genre, "
— Earl, 12/12/2010" Very Good; Continuing characters: Hannah Bryson and Kirov; Bryson and Kirov work to foil plot of an evil pair who hope to turn an ancient mystery into a lethal weapon<br/> "
— Joe, 12/3/2010" great thrilling ride of adventure. These two are great together. "

— JoAnn, 10/18/2010" I liked that this book is a continuation of the characters in Silent Thunder. And it was interesting to read about the discovery of a lost civilization. The characters weren't as well -develped as they could have been, but it was still an enjoyable read. "
