This is a great sequel to Long‘s “The Descent.” It jettisons much of the science and world building of the prior novel for a leaner, provocatively spiritual narrative about a doomed expedition entering the subterranean depths in pursuit of kidnapped children. The whole thing crescendoes in what can only be described as Miltonian Grand Guignol. The frightening, nameless antagonist is quite intriguing, as is his novel means of imprisonment.

The_Book_Ninja The Decent is a masterpiece. Haven‘t read this though. 11mo
Bigwig It‘s worth a read! I agree about The Descent…a terrific novel. Hard to get it out of your mind. (edited) 11mo
