The Deep

The Deep

From the acclaimed author of <I>The Troop€"</I>which Stephen King raved €œscared the hell out of me and I couldn€t put it down.€¦old-school horror at its best€€"comes this utterly terrifying novel where <I>The Abyss</I> meets <I>The Shining</I>.<br><br>A strange plague called the €˜Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget€"small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure.<br><br>But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Mariana Trench, a heretofore-unknown substance hailed as €œambrosia€€"a universal healer, from initial reports€"has been discovered. It may just be the key to eradicating the €˜Gets.<br><br>In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the <I>Trieste</I>, has been built eight miles under the sea€s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths€¦and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.
