In a knock-out novel that combines the scientific intrigue of Crichton and the underwater thrills of Cussler, bestselling novelist Lincoln Child takes readers to a top-secret laboratory 12,000 feet beneath the icy Atlantic and into the search for the greatest - and most deadly - archaeological find in history. Peter Crane, a former naval doctor, is summoned to a remote oil platform on the Atlantic to help diagnose a medical condition spreading through the rig workers. When he arrives, however, Crane learns that the real trouble lies far below the rig. Sworn to secrecy, he descends to the ocean floor and the science station Deep Storm, where a top-secret team is investigating a remarkable discovery of the legendary Atlantis. But as he tries to discover the cause of bizarre illnesses among the workers, Crane realizes the covert operation conceals something far more complicated and deadly.
