When Dr. Emma McCallan is chosen to run a three-month series of NASA experiments aboard a space station, the stated purpose of her task is to monitor how Archaeons adapt to zero gravity. But the true origin of these single-cell organisms has not been revealed to McCallen -- or even to NASA -- and soon the world is threatened by a terrifying new disease that only Emma can kill, unless it kills her first.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Torn between becoming a Top Gun flyer or a SEAL diver, Navy Commander Rick Tallman welcomes the timely diversion of a secret government mission piloting the revolutionary stealth submarine, the SA-12 ("The Steel Albatross"), off the coast of Guam. As he tries to determine whether a deep-sea mining ship's malfunctioning is due to routine error or sabotage, Tallman unexpectedly crosses wires with a deadly terrorist environmental cult deceptively known as The Ocean Friends. In his second techno-thriller after The Steel Albatross , former astronaut and SEALAB aquanaut Carpenter blends smooth writing and suspense--with a touch of romance as Tallman tries to decide between his love for a female Navy colleague and the pleasures and freedom of the single life. This is highly technical writing, though, and is likely to lose all but the most devoted lay readers.

A SCI-FI WITH A REALISTIC APPROACH,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Flight: Deep Flight (Paperback)
Scott Carpenter, a former astronaut and SEALAB aquanaut delivers realism and adventure into this sc-fi thrill. DEEP FLIGHT, is an underwater outburst of war and action. Keeps you on your toes and makes you wonder if can really happen. The search for the Sword becomes a scavenger hunt versus the Japanese. Rick Tallman plays an extraordinary part and magnificent Lietenant. This book reminds me of Crimson Tide. Even though I'm not a real big Sci-Fi fan, this book was very interesting once I read about hundred pages I got into it. If you aren't really into Sci-Fi, peep this out, it's worth your while.
