Well done

Complicated characters. Good science and engineering lingo. Monsters at every corner. Loved it.

A surprisingly good book

I bought this book at a used bookstore, indulging my penchant for bad sea monsters stories. Expecting a bad but mindlessly entertaining read, I was quite pleasantly surprised to find it a well-crafted, intense thriller. The story, about an oil company seeking to exploit a new oil find under Loch Ness only to be stymied by the Loch's famous inhabitant, is well written and thoughorly detailed. The characters were well developed and interesting...you actually end up despising the bad guys, and rooting for the good guys. If I were the publisher, I'd re-release this book in a minute. If you like such thriller giants as Steven King and Dean Koontz, by all means, try this book. It's well worth the read, and a real gem.

An interesting horror novel dealing with old Nessie!

It's been quite a while since I read this book, but from what I can remember, it's about how a bunch of guys searching for the Loch Ness Monster accidentally discover that there is oil under Loch Ness. A millionaire wants to drain the Loch so as to get to the oil easier, but a certain inhabitant doesn't want that to happen...It was a good book; great characters, super suspense, and yes, very scary. I highly recommend it; too bad it isn't in print anymore. If I were a publisher, I'd re-issue it. Read it and you'll agree.
