Sphere by Michael Crichton

In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface of the water, a huge vessel is discovered resting on the ocean floor.

Rushed to the scene is a group of American scientists who descended together into the depths of the sea to investigate this astonishing discovery.

What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation.  It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently undamaged by its fall from the sky.  And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old...

  1. It's funny how you can be so sure you know what's going to happen, but then a part comes along that just blows your mind, and opens your imagination up to a whole new range of possibilities. I just had a moment like that in Sphere. I thought I had figured out this book, but then Crichton went and shook things up for me. That is always a fun part in a book, when you think you know everything about the book but then it changes. Has anyone else had a time like this?

  2. TJ, I think that's happened to me with Crichton whenever I've read his novels (only a few, but still). He's just so inventive! I think that also happened to me in reading Deception Point by Dan Brown, which is odd, because I don't really like his stuff.
