DeepSix - NCIS
Gtucker165 on CBS-NCIS on Yahoo won a copy of Deep Six at the 2007 fan fest and was kind enough to transcribe the jacket, scan the jacket and give permission for their publication here:

DeepSix - NCIS Deep Six:
The Continuing Adventures of LJ Tibbs Vol I

The year is 2006. L.J. Tibbs is rebellious by nature and scarred by childhood tragedy in the southern community of Specter. An outcast in his own world, he drinks to alleviate the burden of his Messianic complex.

The aftermath of one of his hair-raising investigations finds L.J. Tibbs right in the middle of an unspeakable crime that cost a young woman her life. Tibbs finds himself trapped in the underworld of a local crime syndicate which has a need to administer a terrifying revenge on the family members of a rival family.

But the revenge they seek is a two-edged sword, and the price is Tibbs' own sanity as he recklessly pursues his quarry in a chilling, double-twist climax that surpasses anything Gemcity has written before.

A Reilly Press logo is on the bottom with two fake codes (86753-09 and 666520489-776)

The back cover contains the following:


The aftermath of one of his hair-raising investigations finds L.J. Tibbs right in the middle of an unspeakable crime that cost a young woman her life. Tibbs finds himself trapped in the underworld of a local crime syndicate which has a need to administer a terrifying revenge on the family members of a rival family.

DeepSix - NCIS "A novel of satisfying complexity and bite and verve."
- Barbara Seville, Times Editor

"A dazzling leap of imaginative sympathy and narrative magic."
- Brock Lee, Stolling Rone Magazine

"It moves forward with a wild energy and generous fury...a truly syncretic American work."
- Dan D. Lyons, American Film Reviews

"The long-awaited novel...is outrageously clever, surrealistically imaginative, mordantly witty and funny in spots. It is also densely overwritten and tedious."
- Jeane Poole, Editor - Fanity Vair Magazine

"A remarkable display of wit and rage."
- Laura Lynne Hardy, CBS Entertainment Reviews

"Unfortunately, the book's great weakness is L.J. Tibbs himself -- a renegade cop stereotype difficult to feel for because he does not seem real, certainly less real than some of the characters surrounding him."
- Chad W. Murray, Film Actors Guild (F.A.G.)
(Note: Chad W. Murray is Sean Murray's brother)


Note: There is a real book called "Deep Six". It is a novel written by veteran author Clive Cussler.
