Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find the Earth burning.
Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earthquakes and hellfire rock the globe. Air Force One has vanished from the skies with America's president on board. Now, with the U.S. on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Kirkland must pilot his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, on a desperate mission miles below the ocean's surface. There devastating secrets await him—and a power an ancient civilization could not contain has been cast out into modern day. And it will forever alter a world that's already racing toward its own destruction.

Every so often you just need to get away from it all and read a no-holds-barred, action-oriented, good guy vs bad guy action story. This one fits the bill to a tee.
I have read three other books by Rollins so far and to tell the truth I was starting to get a little worried. The plots seemed to be getting a bit thin (or unrealistic) and the characters a little cliched. But Deep Fathom was a pleasant switch even though it is one of his earlier novels. It kept me turning pages and I cared about the characters. The ending was a bit over the top perhaps and some may consider it to be a cop out by the author (I can't really explain without a spoiler) but my feeling is if you're reading this kind of action novel then you'll be in the right frame of mind for the ending anyway. And you will definitely be satisfied.

This book is by far my favorite. Kind of a Dirk Pitt, Indiana Jones, with a sci-fi twist

This is one of those books that actually inspires me to write a book of my own sometime. I have no formal training as a writer, but I know I could do better than this one.
Other 1 star raters have mentioned to lack of character development, poor plot and other problems and I have to agree. When your main character thinks that all his friends and life posessions are gone and that deeply affects him for about 12 hours, after which he's just dandy again, you have a big problem- just to name one big problem.
I'd write more, but I'm going to get my manuscript off to Harper/Collins.

This book is similar to other James Rollins books in that it takes you all over the world to great environments, has a long lost civilization, and has a ton of action with a little bit of sci/fi to it. The book actually made me think at very first that the TV show LOST had gotten it's idea from this book. The book starts off with a bang, has some very good character development with Kirkland fighting his past, and ties it all together in the end. Excellent read. I have read 4 James Rollins books so far and I would rate them in this order...Amazonia, Black Order, Deep Fathom, Sandstorm. They have all been excellent in their own way though.

After reading one of his books I had to read them all. He must have a research team to find out all the facts that go along with each subject as it is amazing to read each different book located in totally different locales. I buy each new one as soon as it is available.
