H Transue5 Stars Out Of 5May 6, 2010H TransueThis review was written for Distant Echoes, Aloha Reef Series #1.I have not finished the first book in the Aloha Reef series but am very close. It is so hard to put down. I've tried to read one chapter per night but have ended up reading two, three or more and I don't want to stop there. Many emotions are evoked in Coble's books and this one is not a disappointment. Suspense, romance, family relationships and last but never least is faith in the One who is Worthy, all there.

Robert Peterson5 Stars Out Of 5June 13, 2005Robert PetersonThis review was written for Distant Echoes, Aloha Reef Series #1.Distant Echoes wraps you into a world of espionage, intrigue, and love set in the tropical paradise of Hawaii where the native culture conflicts with the Navy presence. Colleen Coble creates characters you can love including a dolphin that nearly steals the show. These characters struggle with political and social issues while at the same time worrying about their own jobs and families. Once I got started I could not set it down. I suggest reading this book in the morning.

Paula Oliver5 Stars Out Of 5May 26, 2005Paula OliverThis review was written for Distant Echoes, Aloha Reef Series #1.WOW!! Colleen does it again! I didn't know how she could equal Samson (from the Rock Harbor Series), but Nani the dolphin does that and more! Not to mention the human characters are engaging, and stick with you once you meet them! This is a wonderful story about families, old hurts, forgiveness, and the reality of the Christian life. Colleen does a great job of bringing in cultural aspects of Hawai'i and its people, and also telling alot about dolphins. I heartily recommend this book and look forward to the next one in the series!!

Christian Book Previews.com5 Stars Out Of 5April 28, 2005Christian Book Previews.comThis review was written for Distant Echoes, Aloha Reef Series #1.Set in Hawaii, the book takes readers to this beautiful paradise to uncover a sinister plan. When a test missile veers off course, hitting a tourist boat and killing several passengers, security at the naval base is tightened. Yet, was this just a malfunction, or does it point to a malevolent plot? Suspenseful with a touch of the spiritual, this story blends these elements seamlessly. The investigation at the naval base brings the two main characters together. Jesse Matthews, head of security, decides to enlist the help of dolphin researcher, Kaia Ohana. He believes that the dolphins can be used to track underwater activity around the base. However, he underestimates the determination of the terrorists, which puts the lives of many innocent people in mortal danger. The tension builds slowly as readers get glimpses of the motivation behind the missile attack. Key characters are introduced and then are skillfully interwoven. Romance is also present in the story, and becomes a lovely interlude between the action filled moments. Yet, if this reviewer were to name one character that stood out, it would have to be Nani, the dolphin. The author provides interesting information about these animals, and readers will be impressed with their intelligence and ability to learn. Nani was given a prominent role and it was a delight to see her interact with the other characters! The Hawaiian setting and the underwater world created a captivating atmosphere. The workings at the naval base and a brief look into the political and historical climate give the story a realistic feel. The author also explores the emotional relationship between several of the characters, as old hurts beg for forgiveness. Christianity is shown as a natural and nurturing part of life, which made this island paradise even more beautiful. Distant Echoes is heart-pumping action with heartfelt emotions. -- Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com
