Lucas is responding to a distress call made by his brother, Clayton, about coming to him in his laboratory eight miles down in the ocean.Clayton and a few scientists are down there trying to find a cure for a disease that is devastating the earth called "The Gets".
Lucas goes down and immediately things start to turn funny. Dead scientists and power not working, locked rooms, etc.
This might have been more compelling for me if so much wasn't happening so haphazardly, almost like trying to put too much at once in the writing.

A real bone-chiller! Just DON'T GO SEE THE MOVIE! The computers will be working overtime to make all the ugly, gory scenes come to life. That said, I agree with the previous reviewer. This book had about 150 pages too many, since that is what was consumed by the author's descriptions. He wrote lots and lots and lots of descriptions...he described every scene about 6 different ways. Ad nauseam. In spite of the horror genre, it DID become boring...how can that be? Fortunately, there is no need to read any more books by this author, since he has already exhausted every description he could possibly use. Looks like the next one, The Troop, will be more of the same. I would not recommend this book. I've read a lot of horror novels. There are far better writers in the horror genre. Just my opinion. D.
