Deep Fathom — James Rollins

ON THE DAY EVERYTHING CHANGED FOREVER. . .
The millennium's first eclipse of the sun cast a shroud over the Earth. And then catastrophe struck ...

ON THE DAY THE END BEGAN...
Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earthquakes and hellfire rock the globe. The death toll rises at an unimaginable rate. And in the midst of chaos, Air Force One and America's president have vanished from the skies.

THE SEA REVEALED A MYSTERY
Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find the Earth burning--and the U.S. on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse. Now, aboard his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, Kirkland is on a desperate mission that is leading him to an earth-shattering discovery miles below the ocean's surface. For devastating secrets and a power an ancient civilization could not contain have been cast out into a modern day--and they will forever alter a world racing toward its own destruction.
