The Henihans, a family of sirens, are brutally separated.

James Henihan failed to protect his family. He will dive into the murderous depths of the Cursed Seas of Europe to find his family on a voyage wrought with bloodthirsty pirates, supernatural beasts, sorcerous legends, and environments not fit for the living.

Will James find redemption? Or will his enemies both above and below the Cursed Seas quell his hopes of a family reunion?

"FIVE STARS: The villain of the story is repugnant and brutal. Hatred for him comes as easy as breathing. It takes a skilled author to arouse such strong emotions in readers, and JB Michaels has proved his talent by doing just that. The plot is extremely riveting and enticing. The action scenes are remarkably vivid and exciting. The plot never seemed to loosen its grip on me." - Ankita Shukla for Readers' Favorite

"FIVE STARS: Fast-paced and interesting, this is a novel that is perfectly woven together. And after a breathtaking ride, we realize that all the courage and heroism in this story is driven purely by that emotion called love. " - Maria Beltran for Readers' Favorite

"FIVE STARS: The characterization of the various enemies he meets along the way is what really sets the novel apart from its other counterparts. JB Michaels takes traditional beasts and pirate tropes and bathes them in realistic writing to bring them to life." - K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

James Henihan is a happily married man, with a wife and child. Only thing is, James is a siren. After the Great Catastrophe, many humans mutated to live in the oceans. Many continents were completely submerged, with countless lives lost.

But as is often the case, after a catastrophe arises a certain breed of criminal: one that thrives on the pain and suffering of others. And James and his family are about to encounter one of the worst.

Separated and enslaved, James vows to regain his freedom and to save his wife and child. What follows is an action packed thrill ride, with twists and turns and unexpected outcomes. Love and betrayal, highs and lows, loss and triumph all come together in this riveting tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars What would you do if a giant sperm whale swallowed you?
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2018
What would you do if a giant sperm whale swallowed you? That’s just one of the obstacles JB Michaels’ protagonist, James Henihan, has to overcome in this swashbuckling novel. It’s JB’s first adult fantasy as he shifts away from numerous bestselling YA novels. It’s not an easy task. In any event, the path from YA to adult fantasy seemed a little cumbersome for the author. As I read the novel, more chapters seemed to be written in YA prose than chapters employing adult language. The killings were too fast without enough time for the reader to say to himself, way to go! He needs to elongate the violence like Bernard Cornwell does, the king of death in battle. My two other piddling complaints are that the reader didn’t get any background on what happened during The Great Calamity (global warming?) or where the mages came from and how they made some humans into sirens. Did I enjoy this story? Yes, but with a glitch. I’m reviewing this novel essentially as an advanced YA novel with sporadic adult situations (if that makes any sense).

Earth is now a “blue planet of vast roiling seas.” Somehow mages turned some of the population into sirens, who now populate the oceans. The story opens with siren James Henihan (a little hungover) realizing that his daughter, Maggie, is missing after she warned him of someone wearing scuba gear swimming outside their home. Maggie gets captured as James and his wife, Imogen, give chase. Maggie and Imogen disappear. James gets captured and locked up in a underwater tank. Behind James were more tanks with captured sirens. With a communicating device on the tank, a man in the incarcerating vessel above them speaks, “I am Admiral Montgomery (Monty). You will be taking orders from me now...if you cooperate willingly, then rewards will be due...should you act the belligerent brute as you are now, punishments will be inflicted upon you.” Apparently, while James and the other sirens slept, scuba divers attached a electric shocking device to their necks. Monty shocked James with his remote to prove his point. What does the Monty want from his imprisoned sirens?

It soon becomes obvious...Monty wanted the captured sirens to fetch for him underwater treasures, “Dear sirens, you have been chosen for your unique skill sets and knowledge of the deep. You will swim to the submerged grounds of the Donington estate and salvage the physical monies stored below. It is my estimation that there is a vault of gold and silver bullion.” Monty had no thoughts of releasing the men after they secured the treasure...there are more valuables to be recovered from inundated cities. James takes up with three other sirens who were also caged and reluctantly diving to retrieve treasure for Monty: Jacob, William and Pierce, who along with James, belonged to the Siren Guard. This goes on for months on end. James is riddled with guilt, “What happened to Maggie and Imogen? What had I, James Henihan, done to lose my family? I’d failed to protect them. To see to it they were safe. I had failed. What good was I.”

During their many dives for treasure they will come up against banshees (“they float in wispy robes and scream until one goes deaf”), an extinct underwater dinosaur, giant whales and squids, et cetera. On page thirty three, James swims into a underwater cave and sees signs of an epic Viking battle. He finds a Viking boat. “The contents of the boat were evermore impressive. In the center of the boat was a throne. A throne with two spires and a raised headrest that shined in the beam of my torch. I carefully swam closer to the Viking throne to examine the shiny object. It was a green stone inlaid into the throne itself. The color was vibrant in the light, and the inside of the stone seemed to swirl as if the stone contained magical properties.” Okay, you had a thirty three page taste of JB's novel, now go out and buy your own copy.

The writings of JB Michaels (see my review of 12/09/2017 for his novel The Elixir) reminds me of another excellent YA author, Rick Riordan (see my review of 2/10/2013 for his novel The Lightning Thief). They both have a young protagonist in a series of novels. JB has Bud Hutchins and Rick has Percy Jackson. Now, would I like to see more of JB doing adult novels? Yes, the problems that I found in The Viking Throne are very fixable. They might not even be a problem for another reviewer. But I sensed the YA genre trying its best to squeeze into JB’s Viking novel. I highly recommend this rousing first novel of a new series.

I am a fan of Michaels's work, and his story, The Viking Throne is another great story that came from a grand imagination. The story brings the reader in the middle of it, and it definitely does not lack action. I enjoyed the depths of the characters, and their intense emotions that bring this story to life. This was definitely not a cookie-cutter or stereotypical story, and Michaels brings a fresh take on new villains and monsters. As always, I look forward to reading more by this author. Anything Michaels writes, I'll definitely read.

This is a great adventure, which leaves one saying, "Whew, what a roller coaster". Lots of action and runs the gambit of emotions. Two thumbs up I highly recommend this book for those looking to enjoy an afternoon inside. I received an ARC copy but also purchased a copy of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shades of Moby Dick and Pirates of the Caribbean...
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018
In Earth's distant future, most of the livable land is underwater due to climate change and melting of the polar ice caps. Life on earth has undergone a radical change as well with sirens, banshees, pliosaurus, and mutant sea creatures controlling the expanded oceans. However, the most dangerous monsters alive were, of course, the humans. And as such, greed, domination. and control of other species were still very much the driving force behind their existence. But, as is the case today, there is always good to be found, and maybe love is the highest good of all.

This is an exciting, rollicking tale reminding me of the pirate yarns of old. I love the action and danger, and the interaction of the characters.

I received a free ARC of this book but I am providing this review because it's just a cool book!
