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)

Good story but...

Save yourself some time and buy the abridged version. I never, and I mean NEVER, buy an abridged version of an audiobook and I was actually surprised to see that this book had one available. Well, having just finished the book, I can tell you that so much of it was just superfluous tech talk. I don't know if it was a contract where the author was paid by the word or not but I can't see any reason to go into so much detail in something that isn't meant to be a tech manual.

If you want to learn how to recover data from a wiped hard drive, learn about 802.3, or have a riveting listen to crew members preparing to dive, then get the unabridged version. If you're looking to be thrilled? The abridged version is the way to go. There's nothing that kills suspense so much as reading about coupling procedures in the middle of the action.

As far as this being a Jeremy Logan book? He's in it for a brief chapter and only serves as a plot device to research a possible connection to aliens or otherworldliness. Sending Doctor Logan all over the world to read rare books looking for sightings of unusual events back in history? Pointless. That could have been summed up by the main character in a paragraph.

I really do love Lincoln Child though and although this was unabridged version was a good book, the abridged version is probably great by comparison.

Is it possible, what we don't know.?

Mind binding as to what was going to happen next. Very well read. Easily put down and picked up.

Fantastic!

Loved every minute of this story. Wow, what an ending, too. Definitely didn't see that coming. Truly imaginative story. Scott Brick is the best narrator in the business, too.

liked it, a few chapters could have been shorter. Overall good story. Really good narration too.

Not a part of the Jeremy Logan series

The book was enjoyable but the main character is Peter Crane. This should not be listed as part of the Jeremy Logan series

Great book!

I couldn't stop thinking about this plot when I wasn't in my car listening. I love Lincoln Child and this book lived up to my expectations. Great twist.

What I would call a popcorn novel...

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

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.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

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

Must Read

This is a book that is hard to put down. Mystery coming from all side. The author did a great job catching the readers attention. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.

Dragged initially, but got better as it went on. The author builds his suspense.
