Beneath the ice at the bottom of the Earth is a magnificent subterranean labyrinth, a place of breathtaking wonders--and terrors beyond imagining. A team of specialists led by archaeologist Ashley Carter has been hand-picked to explore this secret place and to uncover the riches it holds. But they are not the first to venture here--and those they follow did not return. There are mysteries here older than time, and revelations that could change the world. But there are also things that should not be disturbed--and a devastating truth that could doom Ashley and the expedition: "they are" not "alone." With all the trademark elements that have made James Rollins a bestselling author around the world--pulse-pounding adventure, scientific intrigue, nail-biting suspense--"Subterranean" deserves a place in every thriller lover's collection. Even if you've read it before, you won't want to put this classic Rollins down.
