Widely and enthusiastically acclaimed, THE DESCENT marked the debut of a powerful imagination and earned Jeff Long comparisons to Stephen King. Now, after three more suspenseful blockbusters, he returns to the captivating creatures he conjured in that first incredible novel, unleashing a story that will hook his fans and never let go. In THE DESCENT, we discovered a world beneath our feet - a tubular nightmare of tunnels and subterranean rivers and seas inhabited by a savage race of hominids. Our search was to locate their leader, the so-called historical Satan. In DEEPER, mankind once again confronts its cruel subterranean relatives, and we must descend even further. Searching for the hadal god, we reach down to our very genesis. With terrorism boiling up from the depths, we find ourselves drawn into a clash of civilizations - one primal, one modern - that forces us to confront our demons all over again.

2007-11-19 A Fantastic Comeback

Having read "The Descent" several years ago, I have followed Jeff Long's work since, with greater disappointment each time. However, I was delighted to see a follow-up to "The Descent" and can only say that "Deeper" is even better. A gripping read with fantastic narrative that really fires the imagination. A classic tale of good vs evil with a realistic backdrop of 21st Century realpolitik.

The twist potentially calls for another book in the series, so Mr Long, please get writing!
