Publisher's summary

“Few writers do it better than Child.” (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.

Critic reviews

"Child delivers a well-crafted and literate science-fiction thriller." (Publishers Weekly)

"The story is imaginative and filled with wonder. Lovers of deep-sea adventure (and in particular fans of the James Cameron movie The Abyss or Michael Crichton's novel Sphere) will want to plunge into this one. (Booklist)

“Lincoln Child has a well-earned reputation for writing solid thrillers.” (Tampa Tribune)

What I would call a popcorn novel...

Deep Storm fits in the category of fun, quick, and not to cerebral reads. It's an adventure story with a few shocks and surprises along the way, however the end is never really in doubt.

I'm really starting to like Scott Brick. His general cadence and tone makes it easy to become immersed within the story.

Where does Deep Storm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed this book, it was right up my check list alley. I love creature features, unknown monsters, anything deep sea mystery. I also love horror novels and this had a touch of horror story. For me, Lincoln Child has been a pretty consistant author, who style and storylines are very entertaining.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really edge of my seat, but I was definitely consistantly entertained through out the story. I felt the plot development started a little slowly, but gained steam and interest as it progressed. Solid enjoyable fictional diversion ..

I enjoyed them all. Peter Crane was a likeable MC, and I also loved Dr Flyte and wish he had been explained in more detail and played a larger role in the book. And Scott Brick is a great narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wish I could have, but life/work etc gets in the way of entertainment!

Any additional comments?

Recommended.

A solid C+

Any additional comments?

Good or bad, I usually have a lot to say either way about something I've just 'read'. I suppose the fact that I have no opinion means that this book was utterly forgettable. I enjoyed it I suppose, but anything is better than wondering why the guy in front of me is going 5 miles under the speed limit.
Glad I read it, but most likely won't read it again.

Great idea for a story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. It had a fantastic possibility to be great but did not meet my expectations.

Any additional comments?

Spellbinding

One of the few books I have listened to that I could not get away from. I spent every available minute plugged into my iPod listening. Lincoln Child did an outstanding job interweaving the story and Scott Brick did an exceptional job of painting the picture for the imagination.

Child's is a Player

Lincoln Child's Deep Storm was a great listen. It is up there with the Baldacci's and other thrillers. You won't be disappointed.
