- the underwater station is in two sections: the upper section for scientists and civilian personnel and the bottom, classified area for the military. And the doctor is sure the cause of the illness is down in the bottom section where the actual excavation is being carried out.
The cover story is that they have found Atlantis, but the doctor thinks they have found something far more dangerous. And he’s right!
This book was a fast, exciting read. I had fun trying to guess what the big secret was. The entire answer is quite mind-boggling and something I
wouldn’t have thought about (that is, the reason the object was there). I will say the object they found had been buried in the sea floor for about six hundred years. That’s not really giving anything away. The book has danger, mystery, thrills and all the things you expect from a book by Lincoln Child. Reading it will keep you up into the night if you’re not careful just to find out what really is down there locked in the seabed.
If you liked “The Ice Limit”, “Riptide” or “Thunderhead”, then you’ll like this one, too.
