Hi everyone,
Please enjoy my review of The Deep Zone by James M. Tabor.
Thanks,
Ethan
The Deep Zone is Mr. James M. Tabor high-octane debut thriller, and I hope it is not his last.
When US soldiers in Afghanistan begin to fall under an inescapable and gruesome epidemic caused by a new type of bacteria, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is scrambling to find the cure before the epidemic destroy the entire nation. BARDA dispatches a team to a remote cave in southern Mexico, where five thousand feet deep and four miles into the Cueva de Luz—Cave of Light—they need to retrieve a unique extremophile needed to create the new antibiotic against the epidemic.
But BARDA is not the only one attempting to get their hands on the life-saving organism. Other sinister players learn about the mission of the team and begin their own operation to secure the antibiotic for their own private agendas.
Mr. Tabor does an excellent job in plunging the reader deeper and deeper into the bowels of the earth. The details are crisp and rich, creating vivid images in the reader’s mind. The dialogue is sharp and concise, the descriptions meticulous and thorough. There are more twist and turns in the plot and the storyline than even in the cave itself. This book should come with a warning that it may cause the reader an addiction to read it in one long session.
With the team be able to retrieve the organism and come out alive? Will the sinister forces succeed in derailing the team’s mission? Will the superdrug work to defeat the superbug?
