Book Reviews of Deep Storm: A Novel
Book Review: Sci-Fi plus Intrigue
Summary: 4 Stars
The Margin
Talk about a page turner. Kids gave it to me for Christmas, didn't have the heart to tell them I wasn't into Sci-Fi, so I thanked them and laid the book on a shelf. I knew my daughter and son-in-law would ask me how I liked the book and I didn't want to say I hadn't read it. That night I picked the book up and, although I was very busy, finished it within a week.
My favorites are mystery and intrigue, however, I was able to accept the Sci-Fi element because of the way Child blended good characterization and discriptive setting. I even was a bit claustrophobic inside the sphere.

Book Review: Lincoln Child's best solo novel so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is highly recommended for thriller fans, and may appeal to sci-fi fans as well. Wildly imaginative, it'll take you by complete surprise more than once - with an ending that hits you and leaves you thinking! The setting lays the foundation for an atmosphere of unease, and it just gets better from there. As usual, Child's engaging prose draws you in immediately, and his expertly-crafted chapters will keep you turning the pages late into the night. If you think you can predict what's going to happen - you'll probably be wrong! Make sure you're well-rested before you start reading - you won't want to put it down once you begin.Book Review: Child's best solo effort yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
Preston and Child continue to crank out winners with their Pendergast stories, but their solo efforts have met with mixed reviews. "Deep Storm" is a story that will lay those naysayers to rest. Child creates a plausible storyline mixed with fascinating background and lifelike characters. While I'll agree with a few similarities to "Ice Limit", the ending to this one is much more satisfying and makes sense. As each new secret of what's truly buried under the sea is uncovered, you are slowly exposed to a story with enough depth and twists to keep you glued to the book until the final pages. An excellent book from start to finish.Book Review: Excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book of Child (and Preston) that I have read. I loved it! I stayed up all night (literally) to read it because I couldn't put it down.
The whole atmosphere of the book was exhilarating. The ending was somewhat surprising - and a little disappointing that they did not find something they could keep - especially since I'm all hyped up throughout most of the book wondering what is down there. I pictured an underground city or remnants of some sort. I will probably re-read this book a couple times, I'm sure.
This book led me on to other books by the author, and I am now a fan.
Book Review: Couldn't put the book down
Summary: 5 Stars
As usual with anything written by Lincoln Child, I couldn't put this book down. I had just finished a Michael Crichton book that took me a month to finish when this book arrived. I was done with it in two days! Child's writing keeps getting better & better. If you like medical mysteries, you'll love this story. And I found the surprise ending, the cause of the medical problems that bring hero Peter Crane to the site, to be chillingly plausible. Peter Crane is a great protagonist, worthy of even Agent Pendergast, and I look forward to more stories involving him.
