Deep Fathom James Rollins Books Reviews

Wow, I LOVE this author! Mr. Rollins never fails to take his readers on an action-packed thrill-a-minute ride. DEEP FATHOM is not only one of his best and most thought-provoking adventures, it is also at the top of my favorite novels list, and very highly recommended, along with all of his fantastic novels, the stand-alones as well as all the SIGMA FORCE novels, which seem to get even more intense and action-packed with each one he writes. If there were a queue for his forthcoming works, I would be standing in front of the line and eagerly awaiting their publication. As it is, I keep hitting that "pre-order" button every time I see a new novel of his being published, and eagerly await its arrival. I know that each one will take me deeply and irrevocably into a world of nail-biting, page-turning action and adventure. I can hardly wait for THE 6th EXTINCTION!

Mr. Rollins never ceases to bring the pages of his books to life as if you're right there with the characters. Deep Fathom takes you to the bottom of the ocean and out to the sun all in one fell swoop weaving a story that could be non-fiction under the right circumstances. His characters are heart felt and real and their development along the storyline makes you "feel" for them as if they were your own. I have read a number of his books to date and will continue to experience his imaginative narrations for some time to come (hopefully) I highly recommend this and all his other works and can assure you that once you start reading you won't want to put it down until you're finished.
I read James Rollins's "Black Order"---a relatively recent book---before going back and reading "Deep Fathom." One of the things I most liked about "Black Order" was the characterization. Rollins showed great skill in painting characters with the briefest of brushstrokes, and his characters were interesting and engaging, from main characters to walk-on parts to even the nastiest of villains. I wanted to know what happened to them, good guys and bad guys alike. In "Deep Fathom" I can see the beginnings of these skills---the main characters and their allies are intriguing, interesting, and wonderfully fun to read about---but it's obvious that Rollins has improved since then as well.

Minor characters are drawn in every bit as quickly, but often not as skillfully, making it harder to care about their fates. In particular, the villains are extremely black-and-white, one-dimensional eeeevil bad guys, with little to make them compelling beyond their use to drive the plot and threaten the main characters. There's a brief attempt at giving depth to one of them---David Spangler, an old enemy of Jack's---by providing a few meager childhood explanations for his depravity, but depth really needs to come from depiction, not background. Not even that much thought is given to the vice president-now-president, who takes horrifying glee in the idea of starting a nuclear war without so much as a flicker of regret or second thought.

As usual, Rollins provides a high-tension thrill ride. It appears he's always had a great feel for action and pacing, and even on those occasions when I wasn't 100% on board with the story I was still pulled along and engrossed by it.

The story involves a fascinating archaeological mystery---was there once an entire continent that has now sunk beneath the waves of the Pacific Ocean? If so, what happened to it? How does Easter Island tie into it, and the Bermuda Triangle, and a mysterious pillar of crystal found jutting out of the ocean floor---with writing on it!

However, unlike Black Order, which despite some highly unusual plot points succeeded in causing me to suspend disbelief pretty much entirely, I had a little more trouble with that here. Partially I think that's because some events---particularly toward the climax of the book---wrapped up a bit too neatly and conveniently.

So is this book worth reading? Absolutely! It's a fun read with a fascinating plot, and just because Rollins has improved since then hardly means that you shouldn't go back and read his earlier work if you haven't already. Consider my rating a 3.5.
As always, Mr. Rollins has done his scientific and anthropological research well, so he can build the bones of his fiction on a solid foundation of reality. And where his imagination has taken us from there is marvelous indeed. With his hero, Jack Kirkland, and his friends almost always in peril from various bad guys, Jack and his friends must literally save the world. A great read and wild ride!
