About this ebook
From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Congo comes a psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor.
In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.

I honestly found the book unfulfilling. I didn't think the story really delivered, and left me wanting more, and wanting to know more things. Over all is was a decent short read, but nothing special.

Started off very interesting and exciting, but then quickly turned a little too ridiculous. I raced through the last 100 pages waiting for it to be over!

it's not as thick and rich as some of his other works. However, the book is still excellent and is even one of my favorite stand alone stories.
