Narration To Books Deep Fathom
Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find Earth burning. Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earth-quakes and hellfire rock the globe. Air Force One has vanished from the skies with America's president on board. Now, with the United States on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Kirkland must pilot his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, on a desperate mission miles below the ocean's surface. There, devastating secrets await him--and a power an ancient civilization could not contain that has been cast out into modern day, where it will forever alter a world that's already racing toward its own destruction.Be Specific About Books As Deep Fathom

I have not read any other books by James Rollins, but judging by his popularity I would suspect that this particular book does not represent his best efforts. The story is interesting and creative enough, but it seems somehow uncompelling and not particularly well carried out. However, the book's true weakness lies in its characters, which are rather flat and lacking in personality.Jack, the story's main character, is a rather cliched tough guy with lingering emotional problems from the tragicI have almost finished but this is my first James Rollins book and I find he has a nice flow and his style is similar to my favorite Author, Michael Crichton. So I'm so happy to find this author via a GoodReads recommendation. I'll definitely give another one of his books a shot! Can anyone recommend another James Rollins book to me?
Somewhere in the bowels of this book, I had decided that, while I was indeed enjoying it, it might have been the least Rollins book for me thus far. Perhaps that still rings true, but now that I'm done, all I can say is PHEW, that was a wild ride!
My feelings about Deep Fathom are pretty in line with Rollins' first two books - fun adventure about finding hidden ancient civilizations, nothing much to write home about with regards to the writing style. It gets points for being a Bermuda Triangle mystery that doesn't actually involve the Bermuda Triangle, but it loses points for having an overly villainous villain. He's racist, misogynist, likes killing, and just in case he hasn't been coded "bad guy" enough, he has a vendetta against the
Another fun Rollins read. Jack may be one of the more developed protagonists in Rollins's non-Sigma Force novels. Again we see the Rollin's winning formula at work here. However, this read seemed different. As in Excavation, the pace was different than in other Rollins books (including the Sigma Force Books). That pulse pounding sense of a snowball rolling down hill and grow larger and larger until it's a veritable rolling avalanche all its own didn't start until later in this book than in most
This book was really stupid. In fact, it was stupid in so many ways that it should win some kind of award. On the bright side, it did keep my interest as I was sitting in a large, uncomfortable room for hours waiting to see whether or not I had jury duty.
Okay, so as people who have read my reviews know, I am a fan of Mr. James Rollins' works, specifically the Sigma Series. However, as the most recent addition to the Sigma Series, the Last Odyssey, officially came out yesterday and the COVID-19 has caused all the local bookstores to close in order to stop the possibility of infection, I had to order it online. So I thought that as I am waiting to receive my copy, I should check out another of Mr. Rollins' works, possibly one of his stand-alone
