Abduction

Greetings, I doubt anyone will no anything about this book or the author but I'll review it despite that. Abduction is written by Robin Cook, an ex-doctor who normally writes medical thrillers but has also wrote two Science fiction books one called Invasion which I loved and the book that is being reviewed now, Abduction. A new sea mountain has been recently discovered by a Company which drills for resources under the sea, at least I think that's why they are there, it has been a while since I read the book. The President of the Company, called the Benthic Marine becomes stressed when informed that with all the money he invested into finding the resources has ultimately failed when they learn the Sea Mount Olympus is hollow.

Eventually he is persuaded to relax by exploring the Mount in a sub as previous divers are stunned by the environment. He is accompanied by an oceanographer called Suzanne and an ex-naval commander Donald, while out exploring the Mount the sub is forced down inside it, severing their communications with the ship they were travelling in. After a period of time, two divers named Richard and Michael look for them but suffer the same consequences. The three in the Sub when the ship is no longer moving explore the cavern around them, Donald believe it is the base of Russians from the cold war and as a bright light shines through the darkness they go to meet their captors. I love this book and it is a real page turner, well worth a read. The writing is easy to follow and understand making it one of the best books I have ever read. The seventh chapter of the War for Humankind is up in the Warehouse.
