Summary: Another excellent novel by Mr. Rollins
Review: While similar in nature to his two previous novels (Subterranean and Excavation), Deep Fathom is still an easy and entertaining read. While all his novels require the reader to suspend some belief, he does provide ample reasoning to support the events occurring. I won't go into details to avoid spoiling any of the plot for future readers.All his books have a little Cussler (adventure), Ludlum (espionage) and James Bond (hero avoids being killed). Of his three books published in paperback, this one is the best of the three. All grip the reader from the start (eclipse, earthquakes, etc. in this one) and don't let go until the end. The major knock on this one, and a reason I gave it four stars instead of five, was the somewhat "hokey" resolution at the end/prologue. Aside from that, this is a excellent novel to fill some hours of reading time.

Summary: Brought Back Memories
Review: This was doubly interesting because we lived on the island of Pohnpei, where the ancient royal city of Nan Madol is located, durng the 1990's and also on Guam. (The scene at the Governor of Guam's residence was cool because we've been to receptions there.) There is no way to describe the feeling of drifting up to Nan Madol in a small boat the first time you see it in real life. Rollins captured the essence of the place and it was the perfect setting for his supernatural mystery. A clever trick to relate it to the Bermuda Triangle and also to explain the unexplainable origin of Nan Madol (how the huge heavy basalt logs were transported twenty miles from Sokehs, the only place it is found, to the site. Trust me- they don't float and you can't pick one up). Great ending. All in all a good adventure/political story with some neat Pacific flavor thrown in from a beautiful part of the world very few people have ever even heard of much less been to. One thing - during one early scene at Nan Madol, the time was pegged at around 7:30 p.m. , but the action seemed to be occuring as though it were daylight. At about 6 degrees north of the equator, it's dark every night by 6:00 or so in Micronesia. No biggie. The whole thing was very real for us because we could picture it from our own memories. Thanks for someone finally setting a good story in that part of the world! ...Had the pleasure of meeting the author - a great guy.

Summary: A all-night page turner!
Review: Deep Fathom was awesome. I picked it up at KMART one day, not expecting very much. I started it on the way home, and I was kind of liking what I saw. That night I was bored, so I picked up the book and started reading. Before I realized it, it was three in the morning, and I was caught up in a world of political tensions, ancient civilizations, and old hatred. I kept reading, with no signs of slowing down! The book was so good, that I didn't even notice the sun come up, or my parents leave for work! I finally finished the book around 7:00, and I never wanted to leave the world of Jack Kirkland! So, here's my tips. 1. Get the damn book. 2. Don't read at night. You'll never sleep.

Summary: Not up to His Earlier Works
Review: Rollins is a great writer of pulpy action-adventure books. But this entry was not quite up to the standard of Excavation and Subterranean. Here Rollins is shooting for larger scale, including a variety of apocalyptic scenarios. His cast of characters is once again diverse and diverting, and he keeps the action cliping right along. But where the other works tied everything up neatly at the end, this book loses its grip in the final act. In the end, the centerpiece of the book is a Mysterious Something which is never really defined or explained, and which happens to do just the right thing at the climactic moment for no readily apparent reason. This little Deux Ex Spacerock finale annoyed this reader immensely.

Summary: Good reading
Review: The thing I like best about Rollins books is that they are not the same ol' same ol. His plot lines are original and intriguing. I recommend this for a good read.

Summary: Hey Mark, read the book
Review: To Mark Findley. Sometimes you need to read the whole book and not the first 25 pages. May I suggest you finish this book as there is a very interesting twist that will explain the first 25 pages and why they happened. GREAT BOOK
