Title : Deeper
Author: Jeff Long
Publisher : Atria Books

I first read Jeff Long's The Descent, the prequel to Deeper many years ago. It took a while for the story to settle in before I truly understood the parable. Then I read his Year Zero which I actually like.

And now came Deeper. Aptly titled for Long has certainly gone deeper. Not just underground. But in pursing the barely concealed track of politico commentary and his literally obsession with the devil. And I suspect China. Why else single out China as the only country to mention in a novel besides the United States. This is not a horror thriller, its a politcal horror book.

A dark book and not just because the protagonists were mainly underground.
