From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Congo comes a psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor.
In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.

Summary
Overall Sphere by Michael Crichton 371 pages Published in 1987. I really, really tried to like this book and didn’t. It was interesting enough that I read the whole book though, just never thrilled me. It’s based on an interesting concept of a psychologist who is required by the U.S. Navy to join a team of scientists assembled by the U.S. Government to examine an enormous alien spacecraft discovered on the bed of the Pacific Ocean. There is something about being trapped way under the ocean (1,000 feet down) that brings out the worst in our imaginations. This book also became a film.
