Subterrestrial by Michael McBride

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four "Subterranean Shiver" Stars

Ocean Horror!

A taste of what lies within:

A tunnel accident under the ocean out in the Bering Strait reveals a huge maze of subterranean tunnels that lead to an ancient species and when it is discovered it sends Reinhard Thyssen who works for (DARPA - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to gathering an expert team together so they can all go down into the ocean depths to investigate. 

There are quite a few people that Thyssen pulls together for the ocean expedition, but once they get down there they all realize that the maze is more treacherous than they thought and while they are down there exploring they come across some form of creatures in the water that want to do them harm. 

Between trying to survive the creatures and making sure they all don't run out of tank air the team will do anything to survive, but they feel that Thyssen is hiding something from them and that he has lead them on a death trip down to the ocean depths! 

Thoughts:

This is my second book by this author and I was pulled in right away to the storyline as there is action right away with the tunnel accident. The gathering of the expert team took time though and there was information for each character of their field of expertise. 

I felt the story was great and the pace was quick, but the reason this book is not getting five stars is because there was more cavern and water action with the characters trying to traverse the maze, plus there are tons of characters including the team to keep track of as well which made this book character overload. 

The first part of the book was kind of slow with world set up and learning about who the team would be but the last half of the book was when it took off with underground cavern exploration.
