Patrick Lee came to prominence with his first novel, The Breach (2009).

I don’t like thrillers and can’t recommend this one, though it is popular.

Actually, the premise and start of the book are excellent. Ambitious and inventive.

If you like Michael Crichton, you’ll probably like this book. And the 2 sequels.

Thirty years ago, in a facility buried beneath a vast Wyoming emptiness, an experiment gone awry accidentally opened a door.

It is the world’s best-kept secret—and its most terrifying.

Trying to regain his life in the Alaskan wilds, ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase stumbles upon an impossible scene: a crashed 747 passenger jet filled with the murdered dead, including the wife of the President of the United States. Though a nightmare of monumental proportions, it pales before the terror to come, as Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact.

Once the characters left Alaska, I started to lose interest. The twists and turns didn’t do anything for me.
