An Edgar Award finalist from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Jurassic Park: A diver enters dangerous waters to recover a sunken yacht. The Grave Descend lies under more than sixty feet of clear blue Caribbean water, guarded by a coral reef and schools of hungry hammerhead sharks. Raising it would be a near-impossible task, but James McGregor is suited to the impossible. An expert … suited to the impossible. An expert diver, he makes his living exploring sunken ships. But there’s something strange about the wreck of the Grave Descend.
How did she sink? Why do none of the survivors tell the same story? And what was the cargo inside her hull? To answer these questions, McGregor will have to contend with the deadliest sharks around—both underwater and on land.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Michael Crichton including rare images from the author’s estate.

Very realistic, I imagine things like this happen more often than I know. I liked the characters.
Grave Descend is a great story. You wii enjoy the read! Al
Very good book. A real page turner. Stayed up all night reading it. Some very unexpected twists.
Great thriller that had lots of twists and turns which kept you reading!
Not as complex as later efforts, but a real oage-turner with twists and turns that make for an engrossing read.
A page turner. As with his later, better known books, the background information that is needed to make the storyline convincing is well researched.
I will read anything that merely mentions Michael Crichton even if in this case he’s John Lange. Grave Descend gives you a view into what Michael Crichton’s writing would turn into, mystery, encased in technicality surrounded by interesting characters. If you are even remotely a fan, you’ll enjoy this book.
It was an interestingly twisted story. Characters were likable and there were surprises. Firca dhort book, it was very descriptive and a good story.
Great suspense story. Crichton always wrote great edge-of-your-seat stories.
Not Mr Chreiton’s best work rather unimpressive.
Good Caribbean mystery and adventure reminiscent of the old Bold Adventure radio shows starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Just enough technical details to keep seasoned Chrichton fans interested.
Boring and predictable
Obviously an early Chrichton book. A bit boys ownish. Simplistic and overly predictable.
This is a poor sampling of Crichton’s writing. Too short, undeveloped characters, not-too-feasible action, seemingly a book whose sole purpose was to show off the author’s familiarity with Samuel Johnson’s works. Not worth the $1.99 I paid!
