Former naval doctor Peter Crane is urgently summoned to a
remote oil platform in the north Atlantic, to help diagnose
a bizarre medical condition spreading through the rig. But
when he arrives, Crane learns that the real trouble lies
far below—on ”Deep Storm,“ a stunningly advanced science
research facility built two miles beneath the surface on
the ocean floor. The top-secret structure has been designed
for one purpose: to excavate a recently discovered undersea
site that may hold the answers to a mystery steeped in
centuries of myth and speculation.
Sworn to secrecy, Peter Crane descends to Deep Storm. A
year earlier, he is told, routine drilling uncovered the
remains of mankind’s most sophisticated ancient
civilization: the legendary Atlantis. But now that the site
is being excavated, a series of disturbing illnesses has
begun to affect the operation. Scientists and technicians
are experiencing a bizarre array of symptoms—from fatigue
to paralysis to violent psychotic episodes. As Crane is
indoctrinated into the strange world of Deep Storm, he
attempts to discover the cause . . . but he begins to
suspect that the covert facility conceals something far
more complicated than a medical mystery. The discovery of
Atlantis might, in fact, be a cover for something far more
sinister . . . and deadly.
