The Tom Hilton series is a three-book set of deep-sea adventure thrillers published between 2014 and 2016. Beneath Sunless Waves introduces Hilton as a character drawn to the dangers of underwater exploration, with A Fall into Darkness and Deception Abyss continuing to put him in harm’s way beneath the waves.

The deep-sea setting gives these books a claustrophobic tension that land-based thrillers cannot replicate. Makk uses the hostile underwater environment as both obstacle and atmosphere, creating stories where the ocean itself is as threatening as any human antagonist. The trilogy format keeps the action focused while allowing Hilton’s character to develop across the three entries.
