Review Summaries
" A group of scientists arrive at the site of a supposed airplane crash in the Pacific Ocean, only to find a government-hidden aircraft of unknown origin, 1000 feet underwater and presumed 300 years or older. Confined to underwater habitats, these scientists discover inside the "anomaly" a perfect sphere that one can enter through a door opened by the mind. Only, once one of the scientists do enter, strange things start to happen around the habitat, and people start to die. Rare, aggressive creatures and a mysterious entity add to the confusion, especially considering that with a storm brewing on the surface, these scientists are trapped 1000 feet below with an extremely dangerous creature lurking just outside. The question is, can the scientists find out what it is and how to stop it before insanity and distrust kill them all, or all they all doomed to never again see the light of day? "
Kate, Resident Scholar

"Three scientists exploring a crashed spaceship discover that the spaceship is human and VERY strange events happen to them and they have to struggle to survive."
Andreas B. Steen, Resident Scholar
