From Publishers Weekly
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.

From AudioFile
Scott Brick brings this tense mystery to life as scientists in a sea-bottom research facility work to identify the cause of a rash of injuries and diseases that are occurring while they study an archaeological site beneath the earths crust. When Peter Crane, a former naval doctor, is called in to investigate the injuries, he stumbles upon the key to the sites deadly contents. Secrecy is intense, and a rogue military presence at the station also creates an undercurrent of threat. Brick narrates flawlessly, portraying characters who passionately seek the truth or steadfastly discount what they see deep beneath the earth. Danger lurks below, and Crane seems to be the only one heeding the warnings. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Deep Storm: A Novel (Hardcover) I've been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child for quite some time now and I've read everything they've ever written. At times I've found their solo efforts to be hit or miss. I didn't care for Utopia, but I thougth Death Match, Tyranosaur Canyon and the Codex were all fine books. This is my favorite. I don't know if it was the setting or the underlying plot of the whole book, the characters, not knowing who was the good guy or the bad guy or not knowing exactly what was going on till the very end that made this book so good. Perhaps a combination of all those things. The setting is the bottom of the ocean. Peter Crane is brought into a secret research facility to investigate and find a solution to a series of mysterious illnesses. Once he's down there things get stranger and stranger. The pacing of this book is really excellent, the chapters just fly by, even when there's not any action (which there's plenty of) and as each chapter goes by, Child reveals a little bit more about what's really happening miles beneath the water's surface. Highly recommended for any Preston and Child fan or people who just love a good, intriguing and smart read!
