EDITORIAL REVIEW: "Long's smart and epic tale takes the reader into a Dantesque world, a journey to the center of the earth for the new millennium. And what is found there is both horrific and entrancing: a system of tunnels that network beneath the earth, and homonid relatives of Homo sapiens evolved to live in the depths of what appears to be hell." (*Baltimore Sun*) "A return to the fantastic epics readers associate with H.G. Wells or Jules Verne." (*Chicago Tribune*) "As frightening and exhilarating as anything in heaven or hell." (*Denver Rocky Mountain News*)
