Sphere, by Michael Crichton

Summary: Norman Johnson suddenly finds himself in the middle of some kind of top-secret Navy activity in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Turns out they've found a spaceship in the middle of the ocean floor. But where did it come from? And why? And will he and the others be able to survive the encounter?

Comments: Remind me to never read a action/thriller kind of book during class ever again. (And by class I mean during breaks. But still.) It's rather hard to return to learning about ...anything, really, when my mind is in the middle of a terrifying encounter that the protagonists are having. It may have been messing with my head.

Other than that, I must say, well done. Excellent adventure and all that. But I'm not sure I could handle another book like that in the near future. At least not with these kinds of reading habits.
