About this ebook
From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Congo comes a psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor.
In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.

Started off very interesting and exciting, but then quickly turned a little too ridiculous. I raced through the last 100 pages waiting for it to be over!

it's not as thick and rich as some of his other works. However, the book is still excellent and is even one of my favorite stand alone stories.

Such an amazing book on psychology and the unknown. It grips you right off the bat and doesn't let go until the final page. This is the fastest book I've ever read, 4 days (I'm not a speed reader) and I absolutely loved the story from beginning to end. The mystery, the story, the discovery, the pride, the backstabbing, the danger, the understanding, and the ending. All adds up to a great book I recommend to all. The "monsters" are subdued and the ending makes you nod your head in understanding. This book is superior to Jurassic Park in my opinion. 4.9/5 all day!
