Deep Fathom 
Now, with the United States on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Kirkland must pilot his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, on a desperate mission miles below the ocean's surface. There, devastating secrets await him--and a power an ancient civilization could not contain that has been cast out into modern day, where it will forever alter a world that's already racing toward its own destruction.
I feel that if I had read this book before all the others I would have liked it more because this was definitely not Rollins' best work. The story line was a bit choppy and unbelievable and some of the characters could have be developed a bit more. But don't get me wrong the story is still very entertaining and fast paced. I would still recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading "Indiana Jones" type books.
Hero with a tough shell + Pretty/smart/independent female academic + Way over-the-top baddie +An incipient (and insipid) romance + The predictable AI sidekick = a novel that isn't one of Rollin's best efforts. Many of the scenes dragged on and the amount of times characters survived some absolutely (ABSOLUTELY) death-guaranteed scenario was ludicrous. Not to mention, breaking a rib and then getting involved in a strenuous life-or-death battle without a peep about that rib... really? Is that

An adventure to discover what happened to the lost continent of Mu while the world is being destroyed both by nature and man. Add to this mixture an AI, a dead president, time travel and romance. A fun read during my holidays.
Awesome idea! Rollins knows adventure, that's for sure.

I am having a hard time rating Deep Fathom. The story itself was exciting, action-packed, and fun, if rather over-the-top and full of deus ex machina devices. It sprawled from outer space to the very deepest parts of Earth's oceans, and it had juicy entanglements with ancient and vaguely mysterious places such as Nan Madol on the Micronesian island of Pohnpei, and the area dubbed the Dragon's Triangle (the Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific). Since I adore all of those "mysteries" TV shows that go

James Rollins is one of those writers who is absolutely awesome for the first 3-to-4 books you read from him. Then, you realize that he is just like all those other writers that churn out novels as a ridiculous pace. Theyre the same novel, just with different locations, bad guy names, etc. Even realizing that, you can still appreciate even love some of the books, but its a lot easier to recognize a stinker when you see one from them, too. Occasionally, they try to do things different and itI feel that if I had read this book before all the others I would have liked it more because this was definitely not Rollins' best work. The story line was a bit choppy and unbelievable and some of the characters could have be developed a bit more. But don't get me wrong the story is still very entertaining and fast paced.
