Search - Deep Storm

A fairly good read. I usually enjoy this author a great deal. However, the plot-line in this book is quite weak, and doesn't come together until the last few pages, and then still very weakly.

A thriller set deep in the ocean's crust. I liked some of the characters, but most seemed stereotypical and shallowly drawn. The premise was interesting, somewhat. Hard to say too much without giving the story away. I am lukewarm about the book because for most of the pages it lacked energy, and never really hooked me.

Twelve Thousand Feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean....Scientists are excavating the most "EXTRAORDINARY" undersea discovery ever made, but is it the greatest archaeological find in history--or the most terrifying? Harrowing and Brilliantly conceived says CLIVE CUSSLER. A must read.

Ocean oil drillers make an discovery of an ancient civilization on the ocean floor. Strange illness overtake people working at the excavation site.

A GOOD READ! SCIENCE, AMBITION AND UNDREAMED OF TECHNOLOGY LOOM BENEATH THE EARTH'S CRUST. WHAT WILL SOME PEOPLE DO TO GET TO IT?

Best known as the coauthor (with Douglas Preston) of such bestselling thrillers as Dance of Death, Child delivers a well-crafted and literate science fiction thriller, his third solo effort (after 2004's Death Match). Peter Crane, a former naval doctor, faces the challenge of his career when he investigates a mysterious illness that has broken out on a North Atlantic oil rig. Sworn to secrecy, Crane is transported from the rig to an amazing undersea habitat run by the military that's apparently pursuing evidence that Atlantis exists. Psychotic episodes among the scientific staff as well as the activities of a saboteur that threatens the project's safety keep Crane busy, even as some of the staff members confront him with concerns that exploring the Earth's core could be fatal to all life on earth. Crisp writing energizes a familiar plot, which builds to an unsettling climax with echoes of Child and Preston's The Ice Limit.

Menace is everywhere as naval doctor Peter Crane investigates mysterious illnesses at an even more mysterious underwater research facility in the North Atlantic. The scientists say they're excavating long-lost Atlantis, but Crane suspects that something weirder and more dangerous is under way. Thank goodness for narrator Scott Brick, who offers both equanimity and tension in his reading, which intensifies the drama while keeping the complex plot clear (if not believable). He also adds color through subtle characterizations of everyone from straight-ahead military types to obsessed researchers and truly creepy secret agents. I wished that the scary types didn't always speak so deliberately, but that's a very minor quibble in this well-performed entertainment.

Great book by one of my favorite authors. Scientist gets recruited to go down to a dig in the ocean that goes to the center of the earth. What is down there? Although sometimes he gets alittle too wordy in places its all in all a great book. Fast read! You will enjoy the adventure.

There is a strange serious of medical ailments going through the employees at n oil rig. However, twhen Dr. Crane arrives he is taken to the depths of the ocean to help explore the greatest civilization of history. Excellent and exciting read.

great book. couldn't put it down
