recounts an expedition's exploration of a lost underground civilization that is inhabited by a strange race of what might be called subterrestrials. (Wiki)
Review: B- (7.19.07) Includes an additional 13 pages of the Judas Strain. I fell back onto older Rollins works starting with this one...and I was not as impressed with it as I am ith the new stuff. It's still more enjoyable than a lot of books I read recently. Wiki mentioned, "Rollins mentions that he'd failed to find an agent to represent this book the first 49 times he tried, but, persistence paid off, he says: within two months of finding an agent, two publishers bid for the rights to the manuscript and "film rights sold to NBC in another couple months."
