Definitely somewhere between 3.5/4*
A chilling read about deep sea miners and scientists- and all the horrors of something going wrong at 7000ft down. And go wrong they do!
Armin and Mo got together v quickly - maybe we can blame the lack of dating opportunities at that depth!
Once strange things keep happening no one is safe - either from contamination or from those affected. Some gruesome deaths. Seemingly no way out. No obvious cause - beyond the ‘rock’ - for infection and who will or will not.
Set appx 115 yrs in future, we learn of things not going well for the world in short bios of crew when selected as soldiers. Creepy slithery things and a spider! Could definitely visualise as a movie and definitely in the region of a number of deep sea disaster movies.
Some good plot ideas - I was imagining USS Enterprise for the bathyshpere! Sliding doors etc.
The creepy voices. The discovery of a clue in peoples heads and who has it.
Armin and Mo did grow closer in adversity though the ending whilst kind of expected did kind of come quickly so I would have liked more of they why, how etc.
