He shares the real-life inspiration behind his maritime thriller, blending geopolitics, underwater espionage, and the deeply personal story of a man in recovery.<strong>&nbsp;</strong>The two explore themes of repair—both technological and emotional—and the fragile threads that connect us all.</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/4clSR6S\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/4clSR6S</a></p><p><br></p><p>Share, rate, &amp; review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/zibbyowens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@zibbyowens</a>!</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
