Open to the first page and be ready to stay up late at night to finish. With characters you root for and the others you want to see die, the story is a well paced rollercoaster.
Labyrinth cave is the site of a nasa caving experiment and the site of a horrifying accident. Tom Burke and his daughter Cricket are part the experiment, while the death of an assistant (accident) leaves his wife Whitney vowing never to return to the cave.
Add in some escaped convicts, a hostage situation, and a moon rock with world changing implications and you have my permission to call in sick to finish.
I personally had a great time reading this and would recommend it to anyone looking for cat and mouse book with a little sci-fi twist.. ( )
