The Deep - Nick Cutter

nFrom the acclaimed author of The Troop--a book that is utterly terrifying (Clive Barker). Fans of unflinching bleakness and all-out horror will love this novel....Each new shock is freshly disturbing. (Publishers Weekly, starred review) nA strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale.

It causes people to forget--small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure.

n n But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as ambrosia has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths...and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.n
