Found this book yesterday in the OBCZ at Fair Grounds Coffee Shop in the Ghent section of Norfolk, VA. It wasn't a registered BC book, so I brought it home to dress it properly in labels. :-)

From amazon.com:
Perry Berg is president of Benthic Marine and a passenger aboard The Benthic Explorer, a 450-foot research ship endeavoring to drill into, and sample for the first time, the earth's magma core. Also onboard are the lovely Dr. Suzanne Newell; ex-navy commander and present submersible skipper Donald Fuller; and navy-cum-Neanderthal divers Richard Adams and Michael Donaghue. It is this cast of characters who, with the reluctant Perry, dive to the stilled drill site in order to make repairs. En route, they are sucked (or suckered) into a defunct undersea volcano and deposited into an otherworldly wonderland.

THE PHOTO IS OF ROCKY, THE DOG I HOPE TO ADOPT AND BRING HOME SOON. I thought it would be fun to put his photo on here, considering the title of the book and all that.

Gave this one to Ted. If he doesn't journal it I will hunt him down. :-)
