According to the official website of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Child’s next novel will be the thriller DEEP STORM, his first since 2004′s excellent DEATH MATCH.
The plot is described as thus: “It is the most spectacular science research facility ever constructed – 12,000 feet beneath the icy waters of the Atlantic, below the ocean floor, lies Deep Storm. This heavily guarded facility has one sole purpose: to excavate a recently discovered undersea site that promises to be the most stunning archaeological find in history – the remains of what is believed to be humankind’s most sophisticated ancient civilization, Atlantis. Now that the cloaked excavation is underway, several mysterious medical problems have been surfacing. Peter Crane is a former naval doctor who has been summoned under a veil of secrecy to investigate the strange illnesses spreading through the population of scientists and engineers working within Deep Storm. Before long he learns that something far more covert may be underway. The further Peter probes, the more astonishing – and alarming – the truth becomes.”
His writing partner Preston’s most recent solo work was TYRANNOSAUR CANYON. Together, the bestselling Preston/Child duo are set to release THE BOOK OF THE DEAD – a follow-up to BRIMSTONE and DANCE OF DEATH – on June 6. DEEP STORM will be released sometime in 2007.
