In Submerged, Perry Sachs, a Seattle based engineer, finds another challenege related to his work. The newest Alton Gansky book centers on a big "what if" - who or what established an incredible underground facility that defies present knowledge and intelligence? Sachs becomes involved in the mystery when his beloved father is dying of a swift acting illness possibly linked to this candestine installation. Sachs must travel to tonopah, Nevada, to unravel the truth behind this father's illness and his father's involvement in this secret beneath the lake. Sachs' faith and intelligence are pressed as he grapples against real and intangible adversaries.

It is obvious why Gansky is an award winning author, as readers delve into this latest entry of his ongoing trademark Christian suspense fiction. As with other writings, such as Vanished (Zondervan, 2000) and Beneath the Ice (Barbour, 2004), Gansky combines subtle evangelism and the seemingly possible supernatural to create page-turner suspense novels. One of Gansky's greatest writing strengths is his ability to weave sensory language into his passages without weighing down the plot with unneeded prose. Another aspect of his writing talent is his presentation of likeable characters. However, in Submerged the large cast of characters sacrificed the ability for full characterization to develop; also it was difficult to keep track of all the personalities and who was saying what, and they all had a penchant for witty retorts at one time or another. Readers who enjoy Michael Chrichton's prosaic scientific theories and Frank Peretti's creative wordsmithing will want to dive in and read Submerged.
