1. US Hardcover: The Deep (ISBN 9781476717739)
- “First Printing” should be removed from the Editions field.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:
From the national bestselling author of The Troop—about which Stephen King raved that it “scared the hell out of me, and I couldn’t put it down”—comes this utterly terrifying new novel that pits the mysteries of The Abyss against the horrors of The Shining.
A strange plague called the ’Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure.
But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Mariana Trench, a heretofore-unknown substance hailed as “ambrosia”—a universal healer, from initial reports—has been discovered. It may just be the key to eradicating the ’Gets.
In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths . . . and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

Afraid of the dark? You should be.

A research lab has been established eight miles below the sea’s surface, but all contact with the team has been lost.
