Two Thousand Miles Below

In 1932, Dean Rawson is a mining engineer with an impossible dream: to drill into the heart of a dead volcano and tap the geothermal power boiling two thousand miles beneath the Earth's surface. What begins as a daring industrial venture becomes something else entirely when Rawson and his crew break through the planet's crust and find a world that should not exist. Underground seas glow with bioluminescent life. Ancient civilizations hum with machinery older than humanity. And something down there has been waiting for them. Diffin writes with the breathless certainty of a man who believed the Earth was hollow and waiting to be found, and his novel captures the giddy terror of realizing that the ground beneath your feet is only the beginning. This is pure pulp adventure, unfussy and propulsive, the kind of story that makes you want to pack a flashlight and climb down the nearest shaft.
