**More advance praise for James M. Tabor’s _The Deep Zone_**

“ _The Deep Zone_ packs all the suspenseful wallop of Michael Crichton’s _The

Andromeda Strain,_ Stephen King’s _The Stand,_ and Jules Verne’s _Journey to

the Center of the Earth_. This is a literal cliffhanger that alters the way we

look beneath the surface of our reality.”—Katherine Neville, _New York Times_

bestselling author of _The Eight_

“Deep-earth adventure, scintillating science, and cutthroat intrigue collide

with thrilling results in James M. Tabor’s _The Deep Zone_. Wildly imaginative

but grounded in today’s headlines, the story left me breathless and awed.

Truly impressive.”—James Rollins, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The

Devil Colony_

“Just like the perilous cave that serves as its backdrop, this story is dark

and terrifying—but with a light at its end. The book should come shrink-

wrapped with a seat belt.”—Steve Berry, _New York Times_ bestselling author of

_The Columbus Affair_

“One of the most ripping, primal thrillers I’ve read in a long while . . .

Mixing adventure with breathless suspense, James M. Tabor expertly takes

readers to the bottom of one of the world’s deepest caves and makes the

journey both harrowing and awesome. This one really stands out.”—David

Morrell, _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Creepers_
