Domestic terrorists plotting to destroy LA – simply a plot for new book, says author.
Released on: 10/19/2006

 “This book is pure fiction. To my knowledge, there haven’t been any terrorist plots uncovered in LA. Harbor,” said Eric Douglas, author of the new dive adventure novel, Flooding Hollywood. “Rumors of dive teams planning destruction in California, or concerns about giving terrorists ideas are unfounded.”

In this new dive-themed adventure novel, a group of domestic terrorists are plotting to use a dive operation to disrupt life in LA Harbor and ultimately destroy the city. The book begins with an underwater photo shoot to capture glamorous images of an actress enjoying the sport she loves–scuba diving around Santa Catalina Island– but things quickly turn serious.

Flooding Hollywood takes readers to dive sites around Catalina Island. The characters in the book make dives in kelp forests and have an underwater sea lion encounter, while setting up the intrigue and adventure that makes the book exciting. Before it all ends, the hero and heroine must escape from the religious fanatics and stop an underwater explosion. 

This is Douglas’ second dive adventure novel. His first novel was set at Sunset House on Grand Cayman and described dives off of Sunset Reef, including a dive with the Sunset House Mermaid.

Douglas began diving in 1990 and became a dive instructor in 1998. He is currently the Training Director for Divers Alert Network in Durham, North Carolina. Flooding Hollywood is now available through online retailers such as Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, or directly from the publisher.
