What The Reviewers Say

Carl Hoffman,
The Washington Post
A sober, daytime, conventionally structured narrative about exploring the deep by manned submersible, made personal by Casey’s quest to descend to the depths herself.
Peter Fish,
The San Francisco Chronicle
Casey’s most sprawling and ambitious book.
Caroline Leavitt,
The Boston Globe
Casey’s story is irresistibly personal.
David P. Barash,
The Wall Street Journal
Not just a knowledgeable guide, Ms. Casey is also a memorable wordsmith.
