Naval doctor Peter Crane expects a routine medical emergency when he's rushed to an oil platform in the North Atlantic. The crew is suffering from a mysterious illness that's spreading rapidly through their ranks. But Crane's helicopter doesn't land on the platform. Instead, he's taken two miles down to the ocean floor, to a covert research station called Deep Storm. The facility operates under total secrecy, and Crane quickly realizes the medical crisis is just the surface of something much larger. The scientists at Deep Storm have made a discovery that goes far beyond anything they anticipated. As Crane investigates the spreading sickness, he uncovers the true nature of the operation and the terrifying implications of what lies hidden in the deep ocean. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous his situation becomes, and the stakes prove to be far deadlier than any medical mystery.
