Product Description
On The Day Everything Changed Forever...
The millennium's first eclipse of the sun cast a shroud over the Earth. And then catastrophe struck...

On The Day The End Began...
Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earthquakes and hellfire rock the globe. The death toll rises at an unimaginable rate. And in the midst of chaos, Air Force One and America's president have vanished from the skies.

The Sea Revealed A Mystery
Ex-Navy Seal Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find the Earth burning -- and the U.S. on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse. Now, aboard his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, Kirkland is on a desperate mission that is leading him to an earth-shattering discovery miles below the ocean's surface. For devastating secrets and a power an ancient civilization could not contain have been cast out into a modern day -- and they will forever alter a world racing toward its own destruction.



About the Author
James Rollins is the author of three previous national bestselling adventure novels, Subterranean, Excavation, and Deep Fathom. An amateur spelunker and scuba enthusiast, he holds a doctorate in veterinary medicine and has his own practice in Sacramento, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment!, September 3, 2002
I bought this book solely because it was written by James Rollins, and I remembered how very much I had enjoyed his previous book, Subterranean. I must admit I found this to be another action-packed thriller which entertained me thoroughly. It's a near future almost science fiction tale that somehow comes off as entirely believable while you're reading it. If you like high-paced adventure at its best, this book will not disappoint you. It started out just a bit slow, but after a few chapters I was enthralled by the story and remained on the edge of my seat throughout the book. The ending was spectacular! So often, authors fail to tie up loose ends or I am unhappy with the ending situation, but in this case, the ending was as satisfying as the rest of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pushed All My Buttons!!!!, July 16, 2001
By J. Engle (Ottumwa, Iowa USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every Summer, I look forward to a new James Rollins book. His books are just plain fun! This one is definitely my favorite so far. After all, who isn't interested in lost civilizations, political intrigue, adventure on the high seas and a little romance? When Mr Rollins' new book arrived, I was in the process of finishing another book, however, my eye kept wandering over to Deep Fathom. Finally had to give in and start reading and didn't stop till I was finished. Mr Rollins gets better with each book he writes. Loved the lost civilization angle on this one and as I stated at the end of my review of his last year's book.....please Mr Rollins keep them coming and write fast!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a great book that surprised me a bit!, August 2, 2001
By B. Larson (Palatine, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I picked up James Rollins' Deep Fathom, I was a bit nervous. I loved Excavation and I liked Subterranean, but I thought that they were almost the exact same plot. I was nervous that Deep Fathom would be another Excavation and Subterranean. Was I wrong! This book grabbed me from page one and would not let me go. I really liked how this book really did not focus on the supernatural, or non-human enemy, but rather had an enemy that was human, and with revenge as a driving force, it was very believable.

I also liked how this story had two different locations, under the ocean, and then in the risen ruins of an ancient city. I think this added to the overall enjoyment of the book. Rather than just be stuck in the came cave, we jumped from undersea to ruins, back to undersea, to a naval battle...and so on. It kept things moving at a great pace.

I would say that this book is James Rollins' best work to date, and I cannot wait to read his next novel!
