Neptune's Garden is the debut novel from author Jeremy Gosnell:
Lives lived and lost under the sea ...
Underwater explorer and journalist Eric Rayner hasn't written a word since his wife Sara died almost one year ago. Instead, he's been drowning in self-pity and alcohol since the crash of the Boeing 747 that took Sara's life and that of 237 others. A marine biologist, she was traveling to Raja Ampat in Indonesia to study the sea life. It was the sea that cemented Eric and Sara's relationship.
Now, Eric only drinks and sleeps. But when Proteus Marine Research contacts him, he is intrigued. The mysterious marine research foundation located in Vero Beach, Florida, was started by sixty-six year old Thomas Chadley, a crypto-zoologist. Although skeptical, Eric learns of Chandley's unique connection to his late wife, and agrees to become part of the Neptune project that will explore what might be the lost city of Atlantis.
As Eric finds himself once again thrust beneath the surface of the sea in search of adventure among the diverse coral reefs, he learns that the real adventure lies in finding himself.

Jeremy Gosnell knows about life beneath the big blue, and I'm not talking about the world of Pandora from James Cameron's "Avatar" either. I'm talking about the real Big Blue. The Ocean. Gosnell is a writer for "Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine" and a scuba diver, so he's adequately equipped to tell the story of "Neptune's Garden", his fiction debut follows an expedition into Raja Ampat in Indonesia, where each member aboard the Tangled up in Blue is destined to find the discovery of the millenium, and what it really means.
