Summary: A Different Side of Robin Cook
Comment: I began reading Robin Cook books when I was in junior high, and have since been addicted to them. I was looking for something I hadn't read to take with me on vacation, and picked up Abduction. Because I'm a Robin Cook fan, I was hesitant to read something other than a medical murder mystery, but I was definitely taken in by Abduction.
The opening of the book takes you out to the sea, where scientists are drilling through the earth's core. All of a sudden there is a halt in the drilling due to a bit breaking, and the scientists and divers are forced to go deep below the ocean to examine the problem.
As the plot evolves, the divers and scientists are "abducted" by a mysterious force; they find themselves in a cave (below or above the earth? you'll find out!), only to come a huge metalic door. They open it, and are put through a series of purification processes that appear outer-wordly and completely advanced.
They soon learn that they have been taken by a society living underneath the earth's core, a utopian world not unlike Eden where everything seems possible. Everything, however, seems too perfect. The sci-fi thriller ends with a surprising, though somewhat predictable, conclusion.
Although I agree that the characters are pretty stereotypical (and even a bit prejudice if you ask me), this book has a good moral to it. If you're looking for a quick beach-side read, this is for you. If you're a huge Robin Cook fan, this is for you. If you're looking to read a good Robin Cook novel, don't start with Abduction (try Coma).

Summary: Different, but it¿s Still a Robin Cook Book
Comment: Perry Bergman, president of Benthic Marine, is holding station in his ship Benthic Explorer above an anomaly discovered on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He joins Dr. Suzanne Newell and Commander Donald Fuller in a submersible dive to the site and to those on the surface the submersible disappears without a trace, but the trio are not dead. They wake in a futuristic chamber and meet their hosts, the Interterrans, who live beneath the ocean floor in a place called Interterra.
These Interterrans are the non-violent first generation humans and this is a story that is pretty hard to take in, though I must admit that I read it in one sitting. I suppose that's because even if Robin Cook is writing about something as far fetched as this, it's still a Robin Cook book and they are so well written that you willingly believe the unbelievable.
