––BOOKLIST

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 top-secret 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. 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.

      Menace is everywhere as naval doctor Peter Crane investigates mysterious illnesses at an even more mysterious underwater research facility in the North Atlantic. The scientists say they're excavating long-lost Atlantis, but Crane suspects that something weirder and more dangerous is under way. Thank goodness for narrator Scott Brick, who offers both equanimity and tension in his reading, which intensifies the drama while keeping the complex plot clear (if not believable). He also adds color through subtle characterizations of everyone from straight-ahead military types to obsessed researchers and truly creepy secret agents. I wished that the scary types didn't always speak so deliberately, but that's a very minor quibble in this well-performed entertainment. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      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
      . Author tour.

      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 earth's crust. When Peter Crane, a former naval doctor, is called in to investigate the injuries, he stumbles upon the key to the site's 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. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
