Summary: Good, but not great
Review: This is my second James Rollins book. The first was "Subterranean" which I thought was much better. "Deep Fathom" was interesting, but seemed to drag in places. It had an "Indiana Jones" feel to it since the characters could get out of any situation unharmed. Mr. Rollins seems to knowledgeable about his subject matter and the descriptions of the scientific phenomenon that appear in the story are interesting. It is difficult to pin down, but for some reason this story just did not move along as well as did "Subterranean". I have not yet read "Excavation" but plan to soon.

Summary: AUTHOR NOW GOES DEEP!
Review: This 3rd novel by one of my favorite authors is the least of my favorites thus far. His 1st novel is still the best written in my opinion. Where "SUBTERRANEAN" went, this newest novel just didn't reach. The storyline was great in its idea and scope, but the flow of the story just didn't grab me like his previous two novels did. The ending was good and very inventive though, but the action and sheer adventure seemed somewhat lax in this one. I really was looking forward to this one but as I started reading it, I found myself just not gripped nor caring for the female characters in this one. It read like it was rushed into publication. But this is just my opinion, obviously other people loved this one according to the other reviews, and rightly so, since this author has yet to write his magnus opus. But I will eagerly await his next work in both fields that he writes in, which is fantasy as well as in fiction adventure. Look for his other series which is written under the pen name James Clemens, the WITCH WAR series.

Summary: A thriller with non-stop action
Review: Wow, This was a great action book with plenty of mystery. I have read all three of James Rollins books and I consider him in the same category of Koontz, Crichton and Cussler. The story was easy to follow yet hard to predict. It's one of those books that anyone who likes a good mystery or thriller will enjoy. It even gave up a look at what happens when you unlease the dogs of war. I hope someone considers making a movie out of this story. I will buy the first ticket.

Summary: This was a great book that surprised me a bit!
Review: When I picked up James Rollins' Deep Fathom, I was a bit nervous. I loved Excavation and I liked Subterranean, but I thought that they were almost the exact same plot. I was nervous that Deep Fathom would be another Excavation and Subterranean. Was I wrong! This book grabbed me from page one and would not let me go. I really liked how this book really did not focus on the supernatural, or non-human enemy, but rather had an enemy that was human, and with revenge as a driving force, it was very believable. I also liked how this story had two different locations, under the ocean, and then in the risen ruins of an ancient city. I think this added to the overall enjoyment of the book. Rather than just be stuck in the came cave, we jumped from undersea to ruins, back to undersea, to a naval battle...and so on. It kept things moving at a great pace. I would say that this book is James Rollins' best work to date, and I cannot wait to read his next novel!

Summary: action packed
Review: This is the third book by James Rollins that I've read and I can say I enjoyed all of them. This book is far fetched with an ending that is really out there, but then again so was the whole novel. If your a Sci-Fi fan you must get this one. It was an edge of your seat thriller that kept you turning pages to see what was going to happen next. The characters were well written and thoroughly enjoyable with a "gotta hate em" villian. Pick it up I bet you won't be able to put it down!

Summary: His Best effort yet.
Review: Having read Subterranean and Excavation, I was intrigued but cautious about reading this. I was very pleasantly surprised as his story was much more "believeable" and he spent more time unraveling the story and the characters. It's by far his best effort yet and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Except for the ending. A shame to end it the way he did - just too far out there after spending so much time on researching the relevant topics the way he did - the ending was just too fantastic for the story. But that aside - it's a great read - a lot of fun.

Summary: Top notch thriller
Review: This is the first James Rollins book I've read and I liked it so much that I'm going to go back and order his other books. I love sci-fi and this is a good one. It was a great read from page one until the end. I stayed up late several nights reading because this book was so hard to put down. Great ending too!

Summary: Another winner from James Rollins
Review: Having read his previous two books and thoroughly enjoyed them, I was looking forward to Deep Fathom. I was not disappointed, the book is exciting, fast moving and has an unexpected twist in the end. Highly recommended and I look forward to the next one.

Summary: Rollin's Improves yet again in this undersea adventure
Review: Having become hooked on James Rollins from a few pages into his first adventure, 'Subterranean' and the subsequent 'Excavation' I was pleasantly surprised to see 'Deep Fathom' hit the book shelves recently. It didn't take long for the storyline to take shape. One of the many reasons I enjoy his books is how quickly he gets to the point and right into the thick of the adventure. This particular yarn takes place on the first eclipse of the new century...a day which starts off with promise, but ends in tragedy. Solar flares off the sun spark a series of catastrophic earthquakes along the entire Pacific Rim from America to Japan wreaking the highest toll in devastation in modern history. But in the midst of all this, new wonders are found and they lead to the gateway of even more disaster. Ex Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland is strong-armed into assisting the Navy in an undersea salvage of the recently downed Air Force One when he discovers something amazing on the ocean's floor. Jump to Okinawa where two scientists locate a previously never-before-seen set of pyramids which surface from the ocean's depths as a result of the recent quakes. Where did they come from? And more importantly, WHO built them, and WHY are they being guarded by a strange band of mercenaries? How do these two seemingly different situations connect? You'll have to read the book, but I warn you: cracking open this book is like beginning an addiction, you won't think of much else until the very satisfying conclusion. In the midst of a new nuclear confrontation between America and China...a war sparked by a new and prejudiced former V.P.-turned Presient, is a small group of people forced to work together attempting to avert the greatest disaster the world has ever known. 'Deep Fathom' is grand adventure the likes of which you'd have to read Cussler to see its equal. Really fun stuff and a total guilty pleasure.

Summary: Pushed All My Buttons!!!!
Review: Every Summer, I look forward to a new James Rollins book. His books are just plain fun! This one is definitely my favorite so far. After all, who isn't interested in lost civilizations, political intrigue, adventure on the high seas and a little romance? When Mr Rollins' new book arrived, I was in the process of finishing another book, however, my eye kept wandering over to Deep Fathom. Finally had to give in and start reading and didn't stop till I was finished. Mr Rollins gets better with each book he writes. Loved the lost civilization angle on this one and as I stated at the end of my review of his last year's book.....please Mr Rollins keep them coming and write fast!!!
