The M/S Atlantica, the most advanced cruise ship in the world, is lost.
In an instant, the world as they know it vanishes. Land is gone. Fuel, food, and hope begin to dwindle.
US Marine Jack Cohen, still recovering from horrific injuries sustained in the Middle East, boards the Atlantica for a peaceful Caribbean cruise, hoping for a reprieve from his nightmares. But when the ship is attacked, his brief respite shatters. Once again, Jack finds himself in battle, defending the Atlantica against a ruthless enemy hunting them and a hidden threat lurking within.
On these mysterious, uncharted seas the key to their survival lies with a Navy warship equally stranded. Together, they must pool their dwindling resources, fend off relentless attacks, and uncover the truth of their predicament.
What happened to the world they left behind? And will they ever find their way back? The answers lie on a perilous journey where courage, ingenuity, and resilience are their only lifelines.
Brace yourself for a thrilling voyage into the unknown, where every decision could mean life or death.
Unfathomed, a military science fiction thriller which will appeal to anyone who enjoyed Lost, BSG or The Last Ship.
Unfathomed is just the kind of book I like to read. It's a fast-paced thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. With a blend of mystery, action, and science fiction, it's something you'd expect from a Lee Child/Blake Crouch hybrid. I loved this book, as I have with all Kern's work, and can't wait for the sequel!
Nathan Hystad, Best-selling author of The Event
Strong character development. Believable action sequences. Solid research into modern ocean-going technology. An interesting premise. These ingredients all add up to a compelling and exciting read.
Robert M. Campbell, Best-selling author of the Trajectory Series
All in all a superb book, written to a very high standard, with sympathetic characters, an increasingly complex yet believable plot, and one of the best near-future thrillers I've read in a long while.
