This is a gripping underwater thriller about a group of scientists searching for a Loch Ness monster that is killing people. As if that is not enough of a story in itself, the author throws in a Scottish murder trial, the history of Robert the Bruce and the Black Knights as well. At the beginning of each chapter are entertaining quotes of people who claim to have seen the Loch Ness monster over the years. It feels quite realistic with the science and history mixed in. This was the first Steve Alten novel that I had read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a heads up, there is a great deal of Scottish dialect which might slow the reader a "wee bit" if you aren't used to it.
