Sphere by Michael Crichton digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From the author of Jurassic ParkTimeline, 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.

“I just don’t think I’m a sci-fi book reader. There were some good, intense scenes but it all fell flat to me. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and felt lost when the author went on tangents about a character’s life, why was this necessary? 🫤 the ending was alright.”
“Unfortunately, this book has a lot of potential for a thought-provoking story, but Crichton wrote it too early in his writing journey. The perspective being from a psychologist is very interesting and it holds up today, but that can’t be said for most of the other characters. Their motives are pretty obvious and not at all subtle. The story eventually became very disjointed and confusing while the beginning was very interesting. Lastly the ending was somewhat underwhelming, but it is a logical last twist.”
