Rita J’s Review: Deep Storm

Written By: Rita J. on June 20, 2009 One Comment

Rita J. here and I wanted to say hello to everyone. I’ll be writing weekly reviews on books that I find most enjoyable – murder, mystery, suspense, oh my. Some of my favorite authors are Michael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman, Dean R. Koontz, and John Sanford to name a few. I don’t always deviate from my favorite authors, sometimes being resistant to change and the unknown. This week’s review is a walk on the wild side, a new author for me.

Peter Crane, a Navy doctor, is hired to investigate several illnesses that are occurring on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean. When he arrives, Crane discovers that it’s not the workers on the oil rig suffering bizarre illnesses, but workers on a research facility 12,000 feet beneath the Atlantic. Sworn to secrecy, he descends to Deep Storm, the science research facility on the ocean floor. Deep Storm is excavating what they believe to be the remains of Atlantis. Since the excavation has begun, workers have been complaining of various illnesses. In trying to discover the cause of the mysterious illnesses, Crane realizes that the remains of the legendary Atlantis is not the archaeological discovery of a lifetime, but something far more deadly.

This is the first book I’ve read written by Lincoln Child and was not disappointed. It had all my requirements for a good read. I like the main character, Peter Crane, because he’s tough, smart, excellent problem solver and someone I want on my side when doom is imminent. I was drawn into the story within the first few chapters and was able to sit back and settle in for a good read in no time at all. The story was reminiscent of the movie The Abyss, so if you enjoyed that movie, you’ll love the book. Overall, I liked the book and the author and would definitely like to read more from him or the duo, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Because I enjoyed the book and it kept me guessing, I give this book 3 Cocktails!!
