Deep Storm

Deep Storm is my favorite book from Lincoln Child. I like it so much I passed it on to my brother and he liked it so much he refuses to pass it on, he's keeping it in his library. Really keeps your attention.

Lincoln Child fans would probably enjoy this book but it was not one of my favorites. I enjoy some of Lincoln Child's books but I found the beginning of this book tedious and some slow. Action picks up in the second half.

I've been a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child for quite some time now and I've read everything they've ever written. At times I've found their solo efforts to be hit or miss.

This is the kind of setting and story that Mr Child excels at - a closed universe where bad things start happening. I must admit I kind of groaned when I got a couple of chapters into the book and thought we were on a treasure hunt for Atlantis, but I should have known better. This book does not disappoint and the plot keeps twisting so you are never quite sure where it is going.

A little reminiscent of Child and Preston's Ice Limit (which was fantastic), this was nonetheless an excellent, action-packed, Crighton-in-his-prime, thriller. I never wanted it to end. I'm hoping for a sequel or at least a Hollywood blockbuster.
