Information

In this gripping debut thriller from James M. Tabor, a brilliant and beautiful scientist and a mysterious special ops soldier must lead a team deep into the Earth on a desperate hunt for the cure to a deadly epidemic.When she was unjustly fired from a clandestine government laboratory, microbiologist Hallie Leland swore she would never look back. But she can't ignore an urgent summons from the White House to reenter the realm of cutting-edge science and dangerous secrets. Potentially the worst threat since Pearl Harbor is how the president describes a mysterious epidemic killing American soldiers in Afghanistan--and now poised for outbreak in the States and beyond. Millions will die unless Hallie and a hastily mobilized team can recover the ultrarare organism needed to create a new antibiotic. The good news is that Hallie knows more about the organism than anyone else on the planet.

Tabor expertly takes readers to the bottom of one of the world's deepest caves and makes the journey both harrowing and awesome. This one really stands out."--David Morrell, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Creepers"
""The Deep Zone" packs all the suspenseful wallop of Michael Crichton's "The Andromeda Strain," Stephen King's "The Stand," and Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth." This is a literal cliffhanger that alters the way we look beneath the surface of our reality."--Katherine Neville, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Eight"
"Just like the perilous cave that serves as its backdrop, this story is dark and terrifying--but with a light at its end. The book should come shrink-wrapped with a seat belt."--Steve Berry, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Columb
