Sphere

by Michael Crichton

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

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

Reviews

[Mystereity Reviews]

The Andromeda Strain is one of my favorite books (and movie!) but I've never read anything else Crichton has ever written until now. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was a little baffled by the plot. It seems like the author got halfway into writing the book and ran out of plot. I thought it was excessively wordy and I flipped through many pages because I just wasn't interested in the psychobabble. Overall a very suspenseful read, a real page turner and I enjoyed it, for the most part. Note: my copy was 498 pages long, about 200 pages more than goodreads listed.
