About this ebook

The New York Times Bestseller! The story of an outcast boy, his eccentric dad, and the scary underground world they discover through secret TUNNELS.14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when Dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a secret subterranean society. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era--because the Colony is ruled by a cultlike overclass, the Styx. Before long--before he can find his father--Will is their prisoner....

Ratings and reviews

This book is truly amazing. It had a slow start, but that was the only bad thing in the series. I am currently reading FreeFall, and I hope Terminal gets released before I finish.

Probably the best book I've read so far. So much action and adventure, and nearer to the end, I never thought Rebecca was a Styx. I read Deeper too! I can't wait to read Freefall.

You really have to have to be patient with it but, it all pays off. By far the best series I've ever read.
