*** Winner of International Thriller Writers’s Best Ebook Original Novel award! ***
In this USA Today bestselling book, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Cantrell drops you into a vast, dark world: 100 miles of living, breathing, tunnels that is the New York City underground. This subterranean labyrinth inhales three million bustling commuters every day. And every day, … every day, it breathes them all out again… except for one.
Software millionaire Joe Tesla is set to ring the bell on Wall Street the morning his company goes public. On what should be the brightest day in his life, he is instead struck with severe agoraphobia. The sudden dread of the outside is so debilitating, he can’t leave his hotel at Grand Central Terminal, except to go underground. Bad luck for Joe, because in the tunnels lurk corpses and murderers, an underground Victorian mansion and a mysterious bricked-up 1940s presidential train car. Joe and his service dog, Edison, find themselves pursued by villains and police alike, their only salvation now is to unearth the mystery that started it all, a deadly, contagious madness on the brink of escaping The World Beneath.
Praise for The World Beneath:
“Cantrell’s THE WORLD BENEATH simply blew me away: exciting, visceral, inventive, illuminating. The main character, Joe Tesla, is as charming as he is resourceful. He’s an agoraphobic trapped within the dark bowels of New York City who must face a threat to the bright world above him. Full of tantalizing true secrets of that subterranean world, matched with a breakneck pacing of a shocking thriller, here is a novel that shines a light on the beauty and horror hidden just out of sight beneath the world’s greatest city. So grab a flashlight and get ready an adventure like no other.” – James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Eye of God
“The World Beneath is a unique, non-stop action thriller…Cantrell creates a deadly – yet also cozy – underworld beneath the streets of Manhattan, where trapped hero Joe Tesla and his dog Edison battle evil below our feet for the fate of mankind. The author grabs you on the first page and drags you into the dark depths for a wild subway ride that races to a fatal finish and leaves you breathless and begging for more.” – Kieran Crowley, New York Times bestselling author of HACK, A Shepherd Novel.

Who knew the New York subway system could be so interesting? Joe Tesla and his dog were great characters. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to his sequels..
I read this book primarily based on the co-authoring she did with James Rollins. I enjoyed the book and have started reading my way through the rest of the Tesla books. They are fun “good reads”.
Not very exciting.I finished it only because I had already invested the time waiting to see if it would pick up my interest.
Well written, held my attention which is something I don’t often find with free book downloads. Interesting story line with decently developer characters.
Different protagonist. In a world of repeat characters, this one stood out.
I just found this Joe Tesla series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Joe is a very unique character living below New York City. I look forward to reading the next book.
It’s a story that feeds my paranoia. The underground home was interesting.
Fairly good tale.
