Title: A Famous Medical Author Simulates A Self-Frontal-Labotomy
Review: This novel tells the story of five people who are sucked into an undersea civilization very much older than our own. The plot hinges on two of the "suckees" - deepsea divers - acting like oversexed Neanderthals who become rapacious killers in a Utopia that knows no violence. The characters in this book are so unreal, their actions so inexplicable and "far out," that the novel becomes laughable. The premise, the plot, and the characters are so cartoon-like that the reader weeps for Robin Cook; to think that a well-known author's gift is revealed as so thin and fragile. This book is a literary suicide. Avoid it!
