From Amazon:
"Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find the Earth burning.
Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earthquakes and hellfire rock the globe. Air Force One has vanished from the skies with America's president on board. Now, with the U.S. on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Kirkland must pilot his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, on a desperate mission miles below the ocean's surface. There devastating secrets await him—and a power an ancient civilization could not contain has been cast out into modern day. And it will forever alter a world that's already racing toward its own destruction."
My review, once I have read it. Received through BookMooch.

My review, once I have read it. Received through BookMooch.
I expected something along the lines of "The day after tomorrow" - I thought the book would revolve a lot more around natural disasters wrecking the planet. Instead the earthquakes were just a starting point that lead into a totally different direction. Predictable plot, one-dimensional characters and a totally far-fetched last-minute plot twist. Surprisingly that plot twist lead to the only original thought of the book - I really liked the ending. I can't tell you about it though, otherwise I would have to kill you.
I also read Ice Hunt and Excavation by James Rollins. Verdict after 3 books by the author - if you like mindless adventure yarns with a supernatural twists, this is very entertaining. You want something with a little more depth and well developed characters, stay away!
