Read Dick Hill
Robin Cook combines his traditional medical thriller with the chilling
possibilities of alien intervention.
A mountain far beneath the ocean is the setting in this latest work
from bestselling author Cook (Coma; Contagion; Vector, etc.). Perry
Bergman, founder and president of Benthic Marine, is conducting research
in a remote region of the Atlantic. The crew has been trying to drill
through an underwater mountain that appears to be filled with some
liquid or gas, but they've encountered several mishaps, and Perry has
flown out to the ship to assess the problem for himself. He's invited
to dive to the seamount with several others in a submersible craftDthe
most reliable one, the veteran commander tells Perry, he has ever piloted.
Suddenly the small ship seems to lose power and is lured deeper into
the water and into the underwater world of Saranta, whose stunning,
sexually charged residents, the Interterreans, claim their city is much
more beautiful and desirable than the fabled Atlantis. Although
the Interterreans treat the humans as their special guests, Perry and
his crew are desperate to escape. Cook keeps readers turning the pages
with fast-paced action and intriguing details about Saranta; while
the action may appeal to his teeming die-hard fans, however, this is
not one of his better efforts.
