Subterranean | James Rollins
11 posts | 26 read | 20 to read
Travel to the bottom of the earth to a place you never dreamed existed. Beneath the ice a hand-picked team of specialist makes its way toward the center of the world. They are not the first to venture into this magnificent subterranean labyrinth. Those they follow did not return. Over the rocks...Across the yawning caverns...beyond the black river...You are not alone. Into the darkness where breathtaking wonders await you-and terrors beyond imagining...Revelations that could change the world-things that should never be disturbed...At the bottom of the earth is the beginning. Keep moving toward a miracle that cannot be, toward a mystery older than time.

Mehso-so

Secret military base under Antarctica: check. Tough scientist-mom with kid in tow: check. Rough-and -ready ex-military Aussie cave diver: check. Red-shirt military escorts: check. Secret tunnels, monsters, lost civilizations, and a terrorist thrown in for good measure: check check check check. Lots of C-4, (because the 90s!). Check. I wanted a fun diversion, and this was both familiar and suspenseful enough for a satisfying one-time read.

1. Educated; Maybe You Should Talk to Someone; and the tagged book... I‘ll be looking for more Rollins at the library book sale today!! @Bklover @MaleficentBookDragon @BethM @TK421 #LMPBC #creaturefeature #groupv

2. The Rig by Roger Levy — found a used copy at my fave local bookstore!

3. Right now, 76 and cloudy (amazing, though cooler would be even better), with a high of 83. A welcome break from the 🥵

MaleficentBookDragon ♥♥♥♥♥ Rollins. Try this one. It's one of my favs. 5y
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon whew! That was quite a ride! I‘ll have to check that one out too! 😄👏🏽👏🏽 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @Avanders I ♥ all his stand alone books so much. I do like the Sigma series but not as much. 5y
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon ooooh I see I got 2 from that series... that‘s a bummer. I like to start at the beginning... maybe I‘ll get it from the library to see if I want to keep the 2 I got 😁 I just *assumed* they were all standalones! 5y

Okay, if no one has any objections I think I‘ll use this one for #LMPBC #GROUPV #round6. I couldn‘t decide between this and Ice Hunt but Subterranean has fewer pages so I chose it. Both are over 400 though, and I want you to know it‘s a mass market paperback so the marking up notes may have to be mostly post-its if there are any objections I‘m happy to keep looking.

Avanders Yay! I‘ve never read anything by Rollins! I‘m cool w whatever format 😉 So excited! 5y
Bklover @Avanders I haven‘t either, but I‘m excited. I spent FOREVER today at Barnes and Noble looking at all of his books and trying to decide which one to use. I figure the extra pages are ok since they are smaller pages !! 5y
TK421 I've never read anything by Rollins either. Sounds good to me! 😊 5y

Bklover @TK421 Nathan I think this whole category is just gonna be so much fun! 5y
TK421 I agree!😃 5y
Avanders @Bklover spending forever at Barnes sounds like a pretty amazing day ☺️☺️ I agree ... and I think it‘ll read really quick too! 👏🏽👏🏽 5y
MaleficentBookDragon James Rollins is one of my favorite authors. I hope you all like him. @TK421 @BethM @Bklover @Avanders 5y
BethM I love it! The be read two Rollins but in his series that reminds me of Templars. 5y
Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon @BethM I can‘t wait! 👏🏽👏🏽 5y
Bklover @MaleficentBookDragon I can pick a different book if you‘ve already read this one. It was on your original post so I thought you hadn‘t read it. ❤️ I have Ice Hunt too so if you‘ve read the other I‘ll just switch. (edited) 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @Bklover no this one is great. I've read it, but it was so long ago that I want to read it again and see what everyone else thinks. 5y

Bklover @BethM What do you think of these? 5y
BethM I‘ll read any! I‘d probably leAn towards , but all look good! (edited) 5y

I was NOT going to join another mailing bookclub. I am way behind on my reading and I tend to be a bit tardy.
5 seconds later I could not resist.
I started a #GroupV on the next round of #LMPBC
Anyone up for some creature features, nature revolts, or science gone wrong creations? I'm talking about books like The Meg, Zoo, Borne, Dean Koontz's Watchers, etc.

Got some bookish mail today! Subterranean is a stand-alone novel written by the same man who writes the Sigma Force books that I've been making my way through. I've read it before and it's quite good! Action-adventure suspense that takes place in very icy and arctic climates.

rubyslippersreads Nice book stand. 😹 7y
BiblioNyan @rubyslippersreads Thank you! 🤣🤣 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Read this a loooooong time ago and loved it. 7y
EloisaJames That was the first Rollins I read--really scary and fun! 7y
BiblioNyan @EloisaJames It was pretty scary! I remember staying up all night so I could finish it. 7y

Well you can't get much further south than Antarctica. Loved this standalone from James Rollins, possibly my favourite of his standalones but also liked Amazonia which also fit the #setinsouthernhemisphere hash tag. If you like a good action packed thriller, give either of them a try.

Debiw781 I think Amazonia is still my favorite 7y
Andrew65 @Debiw781 Hard for me to choose between the two but just came down on subterranean, but could have easily gone the other way. They are both great books. 7y

I really liked this adventure book by James Rollins, possibly my favourite standalone of his so far. Most of the action takes place below the Ice of Antarctica and action certainly hots up when they discovery a mystery they might have been better leaving alone! #fireandice

Cinfhen Sounds promising 💥💥💥 7y
Andrew65 @Cinfhen I definitely enjoyed it. 7y
