Be advised this is not one of Cook's 'medical thrillers'. It actually has more in common (including some names and plot lines) with James Cameron's movie Abyss. Good sci-fi though, and a fun read.

This is way off the course for Robin Cook. That being said, I found this and exciting and entertaining book that works from start to finish. Recommend you read this if you want to see the imagination of Robin Cook exercise into the realm of bizarre.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. I have the paperback on my shelf and have read it 4 times! (I know - "loser", right? lol) It is a great story of what the lost city of Atlantis might be like if we ever were to find it, with great character development, and such detailed descriptions that you feel like you are right there with the characters. Has just the right amount of science fiction to keep scifi fans interested too. True, it's not typical Robin Cook (whose other books I love as well). Fantastic, shocking ending.

I am dying to see a movie made out of this book.

This is not Robin Cook's usual "corporation or desease that is killing people and the hero has to find out what." It is pure Science Fiction, about a world beneath the seas, and people who stumble into it.

In the Robin Cook tradition, some futuristic as well as mythical happennings to keep you interested throughout the novel with a twist at the end.

A suspenseful novel beginning with a myterious transmission from the botton of the Atlantic Ocean. A team goes to investigate...
An interesting twist on an Atlantis story. Not one of Cook's best.

This was off the beaten path for him. It was a fantastic read! This one isn't a medical thriller. You'll have to read it to believe it.

A mysterious transmission from the bottom of the Atlantic sends divers and oceanographers down and to a discovery that will change everything we know about life on earth.

Great Robin Cook book!

And its going to be a long time before I read another one. I used to really enjoy his books. Perhaps this one was unusually bad.

This was a very simple and unbelievable book. I never cared about the characters or what might happen to them.

And the storyline idea was a ripoff from The Abyss.

My favorite book by Robin Cook...I love the ending! This one is in my top 20 favorites.

I loved this book. Very interesting plotline and intricately created characters. Cook really did some good plotting on this one, but I wish there had more to the story. This is one I definitely wish there was a sequel too. This book is for Robin Cook fans as well as people who have never read a Cook book before. Highly recommended.

"LEAVE IT TO DOCTOR-TURNED-NOVELIST ROBIN COOK TO SCARE US ALL TO DEATH." --Los Angeles Times

The world's bestselling master of the medical thriller, Robin Cook skillfully combines human drama and high-tech trills with the latest breakthroughs and controversies of modern medicine. Now, in his most daring novel yet, a mysterious transmission from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean leads a crew of oceanographers and divers to a phenomenon beyond scientific understanding--and a discovery that will change everything, we know about life on Earth...

"suspense master Robin Cook, ever on the edge of medical adventure, [is] only a step ahead of the fast-moving marvels of the real-life laboratory" --Anniston Star

Publisher's Notes
A mysterious transmission from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean sends a team of oceanographers and divers on a perilous quest in search of a discovery that could transform modern science and the future of humankind.

Cook, primarily known for his medical thrillers, breaks from his usual pattern in this underwater adventure. When workers on an submerged mining station run into a number of problems while drilling in a remote part of the Atlantic Ocean's floor, the station owner takes it upon himself to investigate. Bizarrely, the investigation leads the drillers into the heart of a hidden city where the inhabitants have a vested interest in never leaving, nor allowing anyone else to leave....

Pretty interesting story about a civilization under the sea. Not one of Cook's better tales, in my opinion.

Have you ever noticed how much Abduction sounds like seduction?
