The bottom of the world is about to reveal its biggest secret. Journey beneath the ice and allow James Rollins to lead you on a journey that should never have been taken. “Subterranean” will thrill readers with one of the freshest story lines to date.A research group has found signs of an ancient culture buried deep beneath Antarctica’s ice. The glory of the find is short-lived as the archeology team fails to return. With unknown riches and mysteries ahead, there is no way the dig can be abandoned. The research group’s solution is to form the best team available and withhold a few key details concerning what has already happened.Archeologist Ashley Carter has been recruited to head the expedition. Two top scientists join her along with Australian cave guide Benjamin Brust. A highly armed contingency of navy SEALs is brought along to “protect” the site. In reality, something much more sinister is at hand. To throw another problem into the situation, Carter has an eleven-year-old son Jason whom she insists comes with her.The research team hopes to find proof that an ancient civilization once called Antarctica their home before it became a dead continent. Hundreds of fossils of extinct animals have been found in the ice, spurring on the theory that Antarctica was at one time connected to Australia. A wealth of history and treasures lay in wait for someone to find them. But what if decaying bones and artifacts are not the only things waiting to be discovered?”Subterranean” oozes with graphic images that make the characters seem like actors on a movie screen. Rollins has a fresh and innovative style that gives him the right stuff to become one of the biggest authors of the twenty-first century. James Rollins shines in his debut novel. “Subterranean” became a New York Times best selling novel. Since that time Rollins has also released “Excavation” which keeps up the high standards set by “Subterranean.”Like movies, novels can become predictable. Every story line seems to be the same. With Rollins, new worlds that have never been explored open up before a reader’s eyes. His books are the most creative material that has been released in recent years. Rollins novels hold the same type marvelous intrigue that Michael Crichton unveiled in “Jurassic Park.”So why has the genius of James Rollins been held in check? Simply, he lacks the one major event that will expose him to the world — a movie deal. Unfortunately, in the current entertainment climate, a new writer faces many hardships unless Hollywood makes them a star. The downside is a that well-written novel loses many of its unique qualities when interpreted for the silver screen. But film adaptations of novels have helped the careers of Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Tom Clancy and James Patterson.Rollins paints such an amazing picture that it is easy to become entranced by his world. “Subterranean” will keep readers craving for more, even after the book has ended.
