What to expect
Humanity is doomed: A strange plague is decimating humanity on a global scale. At first you forget little things, like where you left your keys. Then bigger things, like how to drive. Finally, your body forgets how to live. There is no cure.
One last hope: Something that just might save humanity has been discovered . . . deep beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea's surface.
But terrible things hide in the dark: And then the station goes quiet. Lucas Nelson's brother is trapped down there, and now Lucas has to go down into the lightless fathoms and find out what happened. Because if he doesn't . . . everyone on earth will die.
But there are worse ways to die than simply forgetting how to live . . . as Lucas is about to find out.
Are you afraid of the dark? You will be.
Critics Review

Old-school horror at its best. Not for the faint-hearted, but for the rest of us sick puppies, it's a perfect gift
-
Some thrillers produce shivers, others trigger goose bumps; Cutter's graphic offering will have readers jumping out of their skin

The Troop is proper horror. Packed with onomatopoeic squelchiness
