SCIENTIFIC DETAIL AND GRIPPING ADVENTURE!
In a knock-out novel that combines the scientific intrigue of
Crichton and the underwater thrills of Cussler, bestselling novelist
Lincoln Child takes readers to a top-secret laboratory 12,000 feet
beneath the icy Atlantic and into the search for the greatest – and
most deadly – archaeological find in history.
"'Deep Storm" is the most spectacular science research facility ever
constructed. Lying deep beneath the Atlantic on the ocean floor, the
heavily guarded 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.
Peter Crane, a former naval doctor, is summoned to a remote oil
platform on the Atlantic to help diagnose a medical condition spreading
through the rig workers. When he arrives, however, Crane learns that
the real trouble lies far below the rig.
Sworn to secrecy, he descends to the ocean floor and the science
station Deep Storm, where a top-secret team is investigating a
remarkable discovery. 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 bizarre
illnesses has erupted among the workers. As he tries to discover the
cause, Crane realizes that the covert operation conceals something far
more complicated than a medical mystery – and that "Atlantis" might, in
fact, be something far more sinister and deadly.
Like Child's spectacular bestsellers co-authored with Douglas
Preston (Dance of Death, Relic), DEEP STORM melds scientific detail and
gripping adventure in stunningly imagined, chillingly real journey into
unknown territory.
