College of Science

You can add a book series to Dr. James Lindholm's list of published works! As the James W. Rote Distinguished Professor of Marine Science and Policy, and the Director of the Institute for Applied Marine Ecology here at CSUMB, he has guided many students through the field of Marine Science. With his first novel, Into A Canyon Deep, Dr. Lindholm inspired countless others to embrace the thrills that lie beneath the ocean's surface. The sequel, Blood Cold, continues to follow Dr. Chris Black as he explores False Bay off the coast of South Africa.

As described by Lindholm "In the waning days of South Africa's Apartheid, a nefarious group of government officials loaded a fishing vessel with thousands of gold krugerrands. Departing in a violent storm, the vessel was never seen again. Nearly thirty years later, Chris Black, still recovering from the events of Into A Canyon Deep, has come to Cape Town to assist with the exploration of a marine protected area in False Bay. Though seeking respite, once again Black will find himself immersed in violent intrigue with the highest stakes imaginable. As the violence escalates, Black will find support on many fronts, some familiar, some less so."

Still need convincing? Dr. Steve Palumbi, author of Death and Life in Monterey Bay, exclaims "Opening this book is like diving with sharks. Big sharks. At night. In a hurricane. What next?".
