Synopsis: Everything Under the Sun
It's not quite 40,000 leagues under the sea, but 19,000 meters is more than deep enough for David Polard to crash in his sub, become lost and found again one year later when young Robyn Beck takes on the challenge to find out what had happened to him in the first place. And as David retells the story of how he survived his underwater abandonment, Robyn realizes that they may have brought back more than a supposed dead man from the watery depths. As hard as it may have been for both of them the first time that they went down they soon discover that they have no choice but to return in order to find out what went wrong the first time.
Excerpt: Everything Under the Sun
October 2, 2008
"This is Tony Kolen, head researcher for the Challenger Deep project, and today is the second of October, 2008, 2:45pm. My coworkers on this project include Victoria Lacmon and Alex Lepp, two graduate student researchers, and Johnathon Neelich, captain of the vessel we were conducting our experiment on. I regret to say for this status update that the project has been aborted, due to a most tragic and unforeseen event. David Polard, our hired sub diver and data collector was declared deceased this morning after review of all the evidence from the accident yesterday morning..."

She dialed Marcus' number and the phone rang three times before he finally picked up.
"God Robyn," he said as Robyn released a breath of air she had not even realized that she had been holding, "It's not even five in the morning yet. What the hell are you doing calling me? As I recall you were the one who told me to get some sleep."
"Marcus," Robyn hoped that he would pick up on the urgency in her voice. The last thing that she needed right now was for him to think that she was playing a prank, "Answer me honestly, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, aside from being woken up at such an ungodly hour."
"Have you been to the lab at all since we left together yesterday afternoon?"
"No, remember that whole 'it's currently five in the morning' issue?"
"Marcus, I've been attacked again."
"Damn, I think it's time we look into hiring you a personal bodyguard."
"I'm serious!"
"So am I!"
"Well, look, I don't think I was the intended target. I think that you were. Or rather, your work."
"...What?"
"Marcus, will you listen to me?! Someone is trying to steal our experiment!"
