A humbling, innovative sci-fi thriller!

The naysayers will do their best to rip Lincoln Child's heart out for his rather erratic treatment of the hard science in his newest sci-fi thriller, "Deep Storm". And, it certainly has its weak or inaccurate moments! But the more important truth is that "Deep Storm" is a solidly gripping, wildly entertaining, credible science fiction thriller based on a truly imaginative and utterly horrifying premise.

Nice blend of reality and sci-fi....

I always read Child for his imaginative plots and harrowing action, though none of his speculative thrillers are as good as those written with coauthor Douglas Preston ("Relic," "The Cabinet of Curiosities"). The plot of this one concerns a momentous discovery ("the scientific and historical discovery of the century...of all time") under a deep-ocean U.S. oilrig off the coast of Greenland. Peter Crane is a doctor, ex-military, with specialized undersea experience. He has been … more
