News of a terrifying disease outbreak sends a team of scientists on a desperate hunt for a cure-a hunt that takes them from a top secret government agency to a violence-scarred region of Mexico to the bottom of earth's deepest cave. Blending high stakes, harrowing adventure, memorable heroes, and a chillingly plausable scenario, "The Deep Zone," by James M. Tabor is an immediately gripping and immensely enjoyable debut thriller.
