Hell exists. It is real-a geological, historical place beneath our very feet And it is inhabited savagely.

In his thriller The Descent, New York Times bestselling author Jeff Long unveiled a nightmare of tunnels and rivers honeycombing the earth’s depths, inhabited by a ruthless evil. Now Deeper plunges readers back into the sunless abyss. When hell boils up through America’s subways and basements to steal our children, a crusade of volunteers descends to hunt for the vestiges of a lost race. gut a lone explorer, linguist All yon Schade, learns that a far greater menace lies in the unexplored heart of the planet. The real Satan has been waiting since the beginning of time to gain his freedom-and man and his pitiless enemies are merely pawns in the greatest escape ever devised.

Mesmerizing and darkly compelling, this brilliant work of imagination galvanizes Jeff Long’s reputation as a prodigious talent. At once a love story, the ultimate thriller, and an extreme adventure, this second novel in The Descent trilogy will leave you breathless.
