Why read it?
1 author picked The Renegat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Take the concept of diving on shipwrecks and move it into space, then add a mystery and a whole lot of adventure, and you have Rusch’s awesome Diving series.

From Charley's list on sci-fi for visiting alien worlds.
