scientists are excavating the most extraordinary undersea discovery ever made. But is it the greatest archaeological find in history—or the most terrifying?Former naval doctor Peter Crane is urgently summoned to a remote oil platform in the North Atlantic to help diagnose a bizarre medical condition spreading through the rig. But when he arrives, Crane learns that the real trouble lies far below—on “Deep Storm,” a stunningly advanced science research facility built two miles beneath the surface on the ocean floor. The topsecret structure has been designed for one purpose: to excavate a recently discovered undersea site that may hold the answers to a mystery steeped in centuries of myth and speculation.
Sworn to secrecy, Dr. Crane descends to Deep Storm. A year earlier, he is told, routine drilling uncovered the remains of mankind’s most sophisticated ancient civilization: the legendary Atlantis. But now that the site is being excavated, a series of disturbing illnesses has begun to affect the operation. Scientists and technicians are experiencing a bizarre array of symptoms—from simple fatigue to violent psychotic episodes. As Crane is indoctrinated into the strange world of Deep Storm and commences his investigation, he begins to suspect that the covert facility conceals something more complicated than a medical mystery.The discovery of Atlantis might, in fact, be a cover for something far more sinister . . . and deadly.
Like Lincoln Child’s spectacular bestsellers coauthored with Douglas Preston (The Book of the Dead, Relic), Deep Storm melds scientific detail and gripping adventure in a superbly imagined, chillingly real journey into unknown territory. Child is a master of suspense, and Deep Storm is his most ambitious novel to date.

Damaris D. (I love Lincoln Child books. I love it when he writes with Douglas Preston and when he writes on his own.
This book is particularly good and even thought provoking. Again there is the mystery and the very cutting edge of science. I am not a science geek so Child could easily put one over on me and i'd never know. It sounds so plausible to me.
A mysterious something is found in the Atlantic Ocean and of course the military is the one to go and retrieve it. There is an uneasy alliance of the best scientists the US can muster and military oversight. I loved the main character and his outsiders point of view showing us the bubble. I loved the big reveals and all the various peoples.
Really great stuff. If you like techno-futuristic type of thrillers. Science and out of this world stuff. This is a can not miss.
David H. (First read "Mount Dragon," co-authored by Lincoln Child, which is quite good. This one is a solo effort and just as good. Similar to "The Abyss" and a couple of other undersea thrillers, but there's an intelligence to this one that takes you away from the similarities. Good plot, good characters, and he's an excellent writer of descriptive action. I recommend it.
