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 was more science and technology than I care for, however, the big reveal was so great, I managed to get through the technical details while waiting for the action to continue.
This read just didn't hold my interest. It felt as if the author was trying to make it into some big blockbuster, but it was not.The main character, Crane, kept repeating his actions over and over again. I'll give him some slack because he had limited access to what was going on so he kept running into human walls.The characters were dense and unconvincing to the point where I just couldn't bring myself to care about survival.So, I guess this read really irritated me. Crane was basically a usele...
A good enough adventure story, set at the bottom of the Atlantic where the ruins of Atlantis - maybe - have been found. A lot of technical detail and research went into this novel, and though not my favorite by Mr. Child, I would not hesitate to read further in this series by him. (In fact, I'd already read 'The Forgotten Room,' No. 4 in the series and absolutely loved it.)Where it bogs down is in all the characters rushing around from the middle to the end. (I call this the 'Lost Effect,' named...
The following may well explain what I think about this book by Lincoln Child; I read it in four days! I am normally a slow reader, and I mix reading with writing my own novels. Deep Storm took over. In places this book challenges one’s thinking because a certain amount of computer science crops up in the plot. Don’t let that put you off reading this book, after all it is a techno thriller and a certain amount of working things out is to be expected. The novel is well paced, although possibly a l...
Peter Crane a former naval doctor is summoned to an oil platform called deep storm in the north atlantic.Howard Asher chief scientïst of the oceanatic agency,tells Crane that some of his divers are showing signs of having TIA (mini stroke) also some have a disease caisson disease.As Crane investgates further he discovers coverups from the top,but when Asher turns up dead the stakes get higher.MY THOUGHTSThis was my first read by Lincoln Child and i have found a new author YAY for me i loved this...
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 "temporary" because once it's over, you've gained nothing about the world or about humanity. I realize that that might be an arrogant thing to say and I understand that there are always things to be learne...
This was another hand-me-down airport novel donated from the lovely mother. Here's the deal with Deep Storm: while reading it, I felt super conflicted. It was written really well, the story was interesting enough, and the plot moved at a whiplash-breakneck-pace, yet I couldn't have wanted to put it down more. Seriously. My extreme need to drop this book where I stood (or, more accurately, sat) was immeasurably high, for an inexplicable reason. But I did.In Deep Storm, there was a lot of submarin...
Lincoln Child blew me away with this one. I'm a huge, huge fan, and I've always loved his solo-novels, but this one has to be my favorite of his.This book is pretty sneaky. It likes to smirk a bit when it leads you astray, and then laugh in your face when you find out the plot has twisted. I had my theories, from page one, and said theories changed, morphed, were pulled apart, thrown away, re-born, etc... and I still got surprised in the end.He wastes no time, every page is just packed with awes...
Crane frowned. "It's your call to make, of course. But seventy-two hours ago, this 'simple mood disorder' took a hostage, then jammed a screwdriver into his own throat."Corbett took a sip of his latte. "Waite clearly has some issues to grapple with."Deep Storm is a really really top-secret government project taking place two miles under the surface of the ocean that the awesome Dr. Peter Crane is called aboard to troubleshoot. See, it turns out that it's making people on the deepwater station in...
A good science fiction entry that has to with digging out what is thought to be Atlantis from the bottom of the North Atlantic. A giant dome is built, but workers begin to suffer both psychological and physical sicknesses. Dr. Peter Crane is brought in to see what is happening. Well done, imaginative plot. Recommended.
This book is extremely well written, and is a horrific mystery with all the grotesque details. The book itself keeps you on the edge of your seat, although a bit slow in the very beginning. The build up of the main character, Dr. Crane, is interesting to say the least, as it slowly allows details about him, but never fully interpreting them for the reader, which allows for more imagination to take place. Also, you will likely need a dictionary with you every time you read, as there is tons of li...
