I read a lot and I thought that this book was pretty darn good, the plot well founded with all the components including protagonists and antagonists. Its a well worth the read and worth the money! I'll read this book several times over. I cant wait for the sequel, which I found out through the authors website (www.daviddholt.com) that its going to be next year for the sequel.

Synopsis:
An earthquake opens up a passage from the surface to a sub-terrian world apperently filled with giant marine reptiles. One of these animals, a mosasaur crawls to the surface via the passage. Once it finds a body of water the mosasaur goes on a seven day killing spree in which it kills several residents of Putnam county.

Review:
This is one of those books that one likes to read even though it really isn't very good. The characters are cookie-cuttered from every other creature feature, and not defined. The plot isn't really, thrilling, suspeceful, or clever. Yet, there are alot of gory creature scenes and action, despite how uneducated they were, and frankly that's all I really need on a summer day. This book had a mosasaur chowing people in a county and wasen't insultingly bad, and for that it is decent.

Grade:B

Recomendations: Anybody who likes creature features or any derividive of mindless gore. Not for anybody else really.

Cost: Not worth 16.95- get used copy if you can.
