"A strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale.

Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily...and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered--a universal healer, from initial reports. It may just be the key to a universal cure. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But now the station is incommunicado, and it's up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths..."--

Review of 'The deep' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Deep concerns a small cadre of individuals confined together at the bottom of the ocean, seeking a potential cure for a planet-wide epidemic known as the ‘Gets. Of course, as conflict is the essence of all drama, it doesn’t take long for things to go seriously awry, and the Michael Crichton-esque scientific set-up flips to a claustrophobic terror treat. Characters turn on each other, psyches crack open, paranoia becomes a character unto itself, and something deeply weird lurks around every corner.
