Loading... Deep Fathomby James Rollins
None. My feelings about Deep Fathom are pretty in line with Rollins' first two books - fun adventure about finding hidden ancient civilizations, nothing much to write home about with regards to the writing style. It gets points for being a Bermuda Triangle mystery that doesn't actually involve the Bermuda Triangle, but it loses points for having an overly villainous villain. He's racist, misogynist, likes killing, and just in case he hasn't been coded "bad guy" enough, he has a vendetta against the main character! Oh well, it was still a fun read. (  ) BrookeAshley | May 21, 2013 |  This is the third James Rollins book I've read. I liked the first a bit more, but this one was still appealing. There was plenty of action, and characters that were interesting, if not necessarily as deeply fleshed out as they could have been. Still, the book fills the niche it was intended to quite well. Action, a hint of romance, events and actions that have global repercussions, and heroism on an epic scale. The ending was wrapped up in a pretty little bow, which was something I honestly didn't expecct, since part of what I found so refreshing in the other Rollins book I read was his willingness to do the precise opposite. Still, while this book did not impress me as much as the other, I will certainly read more of his work. ( ) JennieLeigh | Sep 13, 2012 | I really love James Rollin's books. I love how he takes a historical tidbit of information and connects it to a slice of science, mixes it all together with a lot of adventure and a dash of romance and voilà!; I'm ready for an enjoyable read~ I also love how he points out the facts and the fiction at the end of his stories; more than once I have gotten lost on the internet satisfying my curiosity regarding the history/science he calls to attention there. I think he does a great job with his protagonists, I find most to be really interesting and fleshed out. Sigma Force is a recurring theme in many of his stories and it adds another layer of interest for me, taking the adventure to the next level. Rollin's novels are every bit as enjoyable to me as a big screen summer blockbuster; think I'll go get some popcorn~ (  ) JoClare | Jun 10, 2011 | Let's see, what does this book have :- Giant squid Nuclear missiles Minisub chases Atlantis Hero dogs Underwater escape buildings Robot arm fights Evil commandos Artificial Intelligences that can talk Death rays from space Decapitation Time travel communication And I think this is just in the last couple of chapters! Again, you can't really get cooler thrillers than the ones James Rollins writes. (call it 3.75) 4 out of 5 http://freesf.strandedinoz.com/wordpress/2011/05/deep-fathom-james-rollins/ ( ) BlueTysonSS | May 12, 2011 | This book has a good mix of adventure and archaeology. It's about an anthropologist and her friend who discover an ancient artifact and a group of salvagers/treasure hunters who also find something ancient. They come together to try to keep the world from ending. It's faced paced and keeps you entertained. If your a fan of Clive Cussler, you should check this one out.
