Synopsis

Twelve-thousand feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean . . .
scientists are excavating the most extraordinary undersea discovery ever made. But is it the greatest archaeological find in history—or the most terrifying?

Former naval doctor Peter Crane is urgently summoned to a remote oil platform in the North Atlantic to help diagnose a bizarre medical condition spreading through the rig. But when he arrives, Crane learns that the real trouble lies far below—on “Deep Storm,” a stunningly advanced science research facility built two miles beneath the surface on the ocean floor. The topsecret structure has been designed for one purpose: to excavate a recently discovered undersea site that may hold the answers to a mystery steeped in centuries of myth and speculation.

Sworn to secrecy, Dr. Crane descends to Deep Storm. A year earlier, he is told, routine drilling uncovered the remains of mankind’s most sophisticated ancient civilization: the legendary Atlantis. But now that the site is being excavated, a series of disturbing illnesses has begun to affect the operation. Scientists and technicians are experiencing a bizarre array of symptoms—from simple fatigue to violent psychotic episodes. As Crane is indoctrinated into the strange world of Deep Storm and commences his investigation, he begins to suspect that the covert facility conceals something more complicated than a medical mystery.The discovery of Atlantis might, in fact, be a cover for something far more sinister . . . and deadly.

Like Lincoln Child’s spectacular bestsellers coauthored with Douglas Preston (The Book of the Dead, Relic), Deep Storm melds scientific detail and gripping adventure in a superbly imagined, chillingly real journey into unknown territory. Child is a master of suspense, and Deep Storm is his most ambitious novel to date.

this is a really great book, it starts off really interesting and continues thru the entire book, it was hard to put down once I began to read. This would make a great movie, I think even better than a Steven King movie. It had a great ending, so unexpected. If you enjoy thrillers, you must read this book.

Goodreads review by Matthew on March 19, 2016

Another great Lincoln Child mystery (actually, this is the first of his solo projects I have read, but it has a similar feel to the ones he wrote with Preston). Sci-fi, twists and turns, shocking surprises, action sequences - from ancient documents to aliens - this book has it all! The only reason o......more

Goodreads review by Paul on December 09, 2022

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 STO......more

Goodreads review by Jesse on April 26, 2012

Action movie and sci-fi thriller, but above all else, fluff. To me, Deep Storm is "one of those books." The kind you can you find on a rack in an airport, at a grocery store and in the $1 bin at a used book store. Fluff in the sense that it's pure escapism and temporary entertainment and I say "temp......more

Goodreads review by Tanja on October 07, 2012

I have shunned Lincoln Child, lifted my nose against this author when not as a duo with Douglas Preston. How unnecessary! This is the first book I've read by Child only and it was just as much fun. There is little to no precious insight into the human condition here, but I have to have variation. Th......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on July 12, 2020

Thriller meets science fiction isn't always my cup of tea, but the twists kept me turning pages. And the last few chapters were classic Child-Preston without Preston. Both authors are accomplished thriller writers together and it's clear they both work just as well alone too. On a personal note, this......more
