The Deep Green

In the Congo, an American ship mysteriously disappears from port on the last day of a scientific expedition to collect DNA samples near an abandoned Belgian research station. A month later, the ship runs aground on a Texas beach - and no on board is alive.

When an elite military force and shadowy intelligence officers descend on the small island town of Port Aransas, Texas, a strong-willed local girl is swept into the search for a dedicated scientist in a race to unravel a dark secret. The clock is ticking, because something no one has ever seen before is about to be unleashed into the world.

In a literary thriller that mirrors today's headlines, The Deep Green is author John Lyman's most compelling novel yet. Blending scientific fact with provocative fiction, he takes readers on a wild ride to the dark side of genetic engineering, where the potential for unintended consequences is very real. Intricately layered with remarkable research and detail, the heart-stopping action that builds right up to the end proves once again that bestselling author John Lyman is a master storyteller.
