 Too much techno-babble July 20, 2008
This book took itself far too seriously. I found myself speed reading through all the medical and techno-babble. It's like the author was actually trying to prove his science fiction was feasible. And more character development was needed (who was that bad guy with the hose pipe). Ultimately unsatisfying.
 Highly entertaining! July 1, 2008
This is exactly what I look for in a book to read by the pool--lots of tension, teasers and twists. The first couple chapters were a little dry, but it quickly picked up speed. I especially enjoyed the ending. This reminded me of Crichton in his glory days--and I know of no higher compliment to a fun, scary sci-fi book.
Deep Storm Review June 19, 2008
I thought this was an interesting book. Everytime I thought I figured out what kind of book it was-it sort of changed. For example, I went in expecting something along the lines of "Ice Hunt" by James Rollins or even one of the Jack DuBrul Phillip Mercer books-but that never came.
I thought the premise was interesting and was excited to keep reading and discover what happened next. Overal not a bad book...but honestly...it's nowhere near as good as the Pendergast books.
 GREAT READ!!! June 13, 2008
IF YOU LIKE A PAGE TURNER THIS IS IT. YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TILL THE VERY END. A MUST READ
Enjoyable June 9, 2008
Before starting this review, I ask myself, what is the genera: murder mystery, thriller, terrorism, spy, science fiction, or technothriller? After finishing the book, I contemplated this question and finally decided it was a little of each.
Technology, computer programs, at least one egomaniac, environmental terrorists, sabotage, advanced aliens, and more.
What is down there? The story keeps you guessing, uses historical and current events and places (WIPP for example), and has lots of unexpected twists. Child's gives you hints, then talks you out of your conclusion, leaving you guessing to the end.
One of the best novels I have read in the last couple of years.
Lee Boyland author of two alternative reality books dealing with current events: The Rings of Allah and Behold, an Ashen Horse.
