The Mariana Trench is a place of mythical curiosity. Several ships have disappeared in the area, prompting the fascination of an entertainment network. Their first expedition to explore resulted in all hands being lost at sea. Seven years later, the network organizes a return expedition. Some of the crew are new to the cause, and some have lost loved ones in the first expedition. Equipped with the latest in gadgets and electronics, the ship is as state of the art as 2022 can make it. But what awaits them, they cannot possibly prepare for. What lurks in the deep is powerful.

Normally, I am not a reader of Science Fiction, but thanks to one of my friends on Twitter who read the book, I decided to have a look at the particulars, and it sounded intriguing. I decided to give it a try. From the start, it reeled me in. Nothing seemed too far fetched. The characters were interesting, complex and fully developed. Once I began reading, I had to keep going to see what would happen to these people.
