100 Fathoms Below

100 fathoms below…

The depth at which sunlight no longer penetrates the ocean.

1983. The US nuclear submarine USS Roanoke embarks on a classified spy mission into Soviet waters. Their goal: to find evidence of a new, faster, and deadlier Soviet submarine that could tip the balance of the Cold War. But the Roanoke crew isn’t alone. Something is on board with them. Something cunning and malevolent.

Trapped in enemy territory and hunted by Soviet submarines, tensions escalate and crew members turn on each other. When the lights go out and horror fills the corridors, it will take everything the crew has to survive the menace coming from outside and inside the submarine.

In the dark.

Combining Tom Clancy’s eye for international intrigue with Stephen King’s sense of the macabre, 100 Fathoms Below takes readers into depths from which there is no escape.

Nominated for a Dragon Award.

Reviews

“The perfect blend of suspenseful political thriller and creepy horror is sure to please fans of both genres. Readers will not be able to turn away.” — Publishers Weekly

“Kent (‘Rogue Clone’ series) and Kaufmann (In the Shadow of the Axe) deliver a well-developed cast of characters and a plot that keeps readers turning pages. Descriptions of life on a submarine are deftly handled and enhance the eerie atmosphere. A solid pick for readers who prefer their horror with acute tension and psychological thrills rather than intense gore.” —Library Journal

“An entirely new nightmare…Between potential attacks from enemy boats and the paranormal danger lurking among the crew, readers will wonder which will destroy the USS Roanoke first.” — Booklist

“An action-packed and exciting page-turner!” — This Is Horror

100 Fathoms Below is great, doing for submarines what Jaws did for sharks and water….The novel succeeds not just for its bloodsuckers, but for its absolutely claustrophobic setting and storytelling….Don’t be surprised if you never want to set foot on a submarine after reading this book.” — Rue Morgue

100 Fathoms Below reads like the bastard offspring of a weekend tryst between Tom Clancy and that other super-star writer, Stephen King.” — The Horror Syndicate

“Genuine horror. This is the way a horror novel should be written. It’s fast-moving and doesn’t let up.” — New York Journal of Books

“Very suspenseful. If you like horror stories, then I recommend you read this book.” — Seattle Book Review

“Masterfully written, exciting to read, 100 Fathoms Below is a must for all fans of the genre.” — Literary License Podcast

100 Fathoms Below is deliciously creepy and deeply unnerving. Kent and Kaufmann take a real bite out of the horror genre with this killer of a book!” — Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Glimpse and V-Wars

“Claustrophobic Cold War combat with plenty of vampires, 100 Fathoms Below is what would happen if The Hunt for Red October had a baby with ‘Salem’s Lot and it joined the Navy.” — Grady Hendrix, author of Paperbacks from Hell and We Sold Our Souls

“The tension never lets up in this white-knuckle thrill ride. You can feel the pressure of the freezing cold ocean bearing down on you, feel the terror as the bodies pile up. I couldn’t stop reading — I had to know what horrific thing waited around the next corner, behind the next hatch of the USS Roanoke. This book will make you gasp — and scream.” — David Wellington, author of 13 Bullets and Monster Island

“Full of claustrophobic horror, Cold War submarine warfare, and hardcore evil, 100 Fathoms Below creates a powerful sense of place and a tension that festers in your gut throughout. Kent and Kaufmann invite their readers into a submerged haunted house and lock the door behind them.” — Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and Baltimore
