The Deep

Product Information

but something in this book was always doing something weird to my thoughts, when i went deeper, i only concerned with LB, that petite chocolate lab Enter his brother, veterinarian and all-around Nice Guy Luke Nelson. Luke is recruited to go down to Clayton's lab, the Trieste, and persuade him to return with his research. Accompanied by tough, kindhearted Navy sub pilot Alice "Al" Skyes, Luke descends into a cold, sunless world under the water... and it isn't long before he discovers that the horrors of the 'Gets are nothing compared to what lies waiting in the deep.

There is a specific depth you'll hit where the soul finds it impossible to harmonize with it's surroundings. Just a note: the Trieste in this novel is probably a reference to the Trieste bathyscaphe, which in 1960 reached the deepest part of the ocean (the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench). The bathyscaphe was largely contructed in the Italian city of Trieste, which is where it got its name. So, while it’s possible that the author was refering to the Spanish word for “sorrow”, it’s more likely that he was refering to the previous deep sea exploratory vehicle. This is fairly realistic – those who commission and build exploratory vessels have a tendency to name them after other exploratory vessels (all the things named after the original HMS Challenger, such as the Glomar Challenger scientific ship and the Challenger space shuttle, attest to this). Deep in the Marianas Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, an unknown substance hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered—a universal healer, from initial reports. Just in time as the world is being ravaged by a plague called 'Gets. We find ourselves in a special research lab eight miles under the sea, after a strange transmission is sent out and has been radio dark since. Luke and a few of his crew are sent below the depths to find out what happened to the other crew and preserve research. Luke will find out the former crew has tapped into something not of this world. I really wanted to love this book. I found it dragged for me between discoveries. It would have been better if it had a faster pace and more terror. It was an okay read, but nothing special. He is working on a cure for the 'Gets. A plague that is sweeping and killing most of the country. You start not remembering little stuff, then the bigger stuff, then you just forget how your body functions and you croak.Thanks For this great content.

Will Lucas complete his goal? Will there be a happy ending? Will anyone live to find out? I’m horrified… Besides that, the creepy hallucinations, journal entries, and insane dreams were absolutely fantastic. My goodness, those were all incredible and truly left a mark on me. I got all sorts of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” vibes with those dream sequences since they were that high in horror madness. I felt it had those Elm Street vibes to it as well as a mix of “Aliens” and even “The Shining” with how crazy things got in that special underwater research lab where all sorts of psychological insanity take place. It reads like a long nightmare you think the main character might wake up from and does many times. Did he go mad? When? Or is he completely sane...? and i would be perfectly willing to read a companion-book to this one that focused on what was happening on the surface either before or during this book, so if that was ever up for debate, know that i would heartily approve.

Luke has agreed to venture to the deepest point on earth because he has nothing left to lose. His son Zachary disappeared seven years ago during a game of hide and seek with his father in the park. Luke's wife left him and then the 'Gets set upon the globe. Luke has a closet full of skeletons. In addition to his missing and presumed dead son, there's emotional abuse he endured from his mother, "Battle Axe" Beth, a prison trustee who went on disability, grew obese and set out to torment her youngest son. Then there are memories of a boogeyman that plagued Luke and later his son, which Zach called the "Fig Men" off his father's assurance it was just a "figment". Cutter reels you in slowly, a bit at a time, you manage to swallow some pretty foul tasting medicine but you keep going, venturing forward-- and then, when you're nice and hooked in the lip-he rips you the rest of the way through the book! The Deep reminded me of movies like Saw because I feel like there is a tipping point when something becomes torture porn, not horror. In my opinion, The Troop was not as bad as The Deep in terms of gruesomeness, but Cutter really seems to always include insect infestation and animal torture, two things that I really don’t want to read about. There are also a couple of other scientists involved but we barely see them which leads to more not caring.

That aside, there were a few things that kept this book from the coveted full 5 stars. First off, the concept of The ‘Gets (a disease that causes its victims to gradually forget everything they know, including vital everyday functions like eating food and breathing) was not explored nearly enough. It serves as a catalyst, but doesn’t really play a big role in the plot overall. This is a shame, really. It feels like a bit of a wasted opportunity. As with any good horror story, the book touched a nerve. It made me think of when my babysitter swam me out to the middle of our pond and dropped me off. This was pre-kindergarten and I only knew how to swim in theory. Her boyfriend saved me. It was sketchy. Missing Child: A child abducted from a park in broad daylight, and then no trace of him ever being found. This is how Luke lost Zach. The Deep has been hailed as the perfect mix of The Abyss and The Shining, so I was excited to ~dive~ into this one ( el oh el). I enjoyed what I read for the most part, especially how successful Cutter is at creating such an intensely claustrophobic sense of terror as the main character enters the underwater lab down in the Challenger Deep. Unfortunately I ended up DNF'ing at around 65 percent. I personally hate not finishing a book. Loathe it. And as such I very rarely do so, unless things are truly dire. Or, in this case, obviously leading to a brutal animal death.
