Deep: The climb of truth. A young woman, a world of threats and zombies! Kindle Edition

by Christopher John Aggett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 55 ratings

Just how dismal can it be to discover, right in the middle of a town slowly being engulfed by flames and almost-invincible zombies, that every single bit of your life has been a lie? *****

"It was hard to imagine my father as anything other than that to me, I couldn't think of him as a killer"

Dee has only ever known isolation—until the day her world is ripped apart.

Raised far from civilization, she’s suddenly torn from her father, Eli, and the only home she’s ever known. Thrust into an unfamiliar and treacherous world, she must fight to survive, uncover the truth, and find her way back to him.

But Eli is no ordinary man. His past is steeped in secrecy, tangled in dark and dangerous military experiments—ones that could alter the fate of humanity itself. As Dee unravels the mysteries surrounding her father, she soon realizes that some truths are more terrifying than the lies that kept her safe.

Survival is just the beginning.

"This book had me gripped from the beginning to the very end. I can't wait to read the next book 5*"

"I read the first few lines I was gripped! Thrilling and leaving you anticipating what on earth was going to happen next. Couldn't wait to read the following chapters."

"Really enjoyed this book. A real page-turner with twists and turns and unexpected surprises aplenty! Looking forward to more from this author 5 *"

    Deep is a modern day horror story about a girl who lives peacefully in the woods until she hears an explosion. Being curious, Dee sets a foot through the trees to find out what happened.

    This is an exciting and fast-paced read with strong female characters. The author does a great job keeping the horror at peak and sprinkles just enough twists to keep you turning the page.

    If you like stories about government secrets and tension around every corner you will love this book. There are editing issues that can be jarring, but they didn’t keep me from enjoying the story.

    I’m happy I read “Deep” at the same time that I was watching “Kingdom,” a series on Netflix about zombies in Korea during the Joseon dynasty. One would think that zombies during this time period would feel awkward and anachronistic. Nope. It works well. The costumes, landscapes, and attention to detail in Kingdom are exquisite, and the tension and horror added by the zombie story line make this series addictive. I found something similar in Deep. The description is darkly beautiful at times. The tension and action sequences give this book a gripping edge to it. Fans of horror and (of course) zombies will love this book.

    Let me just say, I'm not a big fan of zombies. I tend to find them tedious because they're usually not the main plot. Zombies are usually paired with heists or post-apocalyptic travesties or other stuff like that, making them an afterthought. But, I really liked this book because the zombies are the main plot. Even though there's stuff with Daisy, the main female protagonist, and she is an integral part of the plot, the zombies are still the most important element

    I read DEEP: THE CLIMB OF TRUTH by Christopher John Aggett (@CJAggett) in one sitting. Aggett hooked me from the start with stellar action sequences and a kinetic flow. It’s thrilling and suspenseful, saturated with mystery and impulsion. I LOVED Daisy — she’s fierce, dogged, and charismatic. The world is reminiscent of THE WALKING DEAD, and the writing is cinematic, episodic, and visually evocative — I could easily see this book adapted for television.

    I went DOUBLE DEEP™️
    I’m writing one review for deep one and two. I will refer to them as climb and embers.

    Truthfully climb needed a few more passes on proof reading. Luckily the story is quite good and has a few unexpected turns!

    Embers is a marked improvement in, well... everything. Amazing growth in character development and in editing and overall writing. Jade definitely adds an important element and I LOVED HER and DAISY doing all the normal things Daisy never got to growing up!

    I think it’s wholly fair to take climb and embers as a whole and to rate the series as a 4-4.5 rounding up to 5.

    I love giving 5s as writing a book is a monumental feat and deserves being celebrated.

    Having CJ’s anecdotes on the writing community Show is helpful too he’s been transparent about his editing and what he’s doing now over what he did with book one.
    He’s a very helpful and passionate member of the indie book community and gave much of his royalties to charity in a time of crisis and that too, is to be celebrated!

    Unfortunately, the story is buried under a draft that desperately needs an editor. If edited, the story I began to read would be one I’d try again, but as it stands right now it is difficult to read.

    This is such a great read! It reminded me of The Last of Us - it just had that tone and vibe. Fantastic novel and a brilliant debut.

    I found this book on Twitter and I must say the audio from the Christopher Aggett is also worth listening to - I hope it gets commissioned as an audiobook.

    My girlfriend is called Paige and this gave the characters a whole new perspective for me, but they were very believable and the dialogue is truly realistic - I loved Daisy and Eli.

    I don’t like it when reviews give anyway details of the story, but I wasn’t expecting the ending and I’m really looking forward to the next instalment.

    The writing of this book stands out as the literary equivalent of an indisputably entrancing movie, one in which you’d rather thirst than miss pieces of the whole.

    The protagonist, Daisy’s character sketch was beautiful. I felt the parade of emotions that swept through her as she accidently found herself into the chaos she had no clue about, having lived in the forest all her life.

    Ask yourself: How, just how dismal can it be to discover right in the middle of a town slowly being engulfed by flames and almost-invincible zombies, that every single bit of your life has been a lie?

    I refuse to reveal much about what I have read but there are two important segments in the novel where you are bound to be ambushed. It is here that I knee-jerked beyond what one could expect out of the story that lead up to it. It was difficult to accept what I met with at these conjectures, as Daisy secures an odd comfort amongst people who have overturned the only vestige of knowledge she carried about the world.

    Beyond all reader experience, my involvement with a couple of the chapters meshed so deep, that I recall refraining myself from reading on into the night around that time, deterring myself from the uninterrupted immersion that a zero-traffic nighttime could offer. You guessed the reason I believe—-the tension in those parts had me walking on eggshells!

    This only goes to show the writer’s expertise in pushing the reader on edge.

    A small line of the story sketch—-a town is coming to a demolition. Why? Because an experiment has horribly gone wrong. Who is Daisy? The protagonist.

    What is she discovering? ________

    What will you discover? ________________

    You will love it!

    You will hunger for the sequelae at the end of the book!

    I was a little nervous about reading a horror story that involves zombies. It's not my usual read, but I was swept along and finished it within two hours. OK it's a short book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    At first I thought the switches in tense were a mistake, but mostly in the past tense, the story switches up a gear in present tense when the action occurs. This may not be to the liking of grammar perfectionists, but it works and is refreshingly original and creative in it's style.
    There is a twist at the end and it sets the story up for a series. As I read, I imagined it on Netflix and in fact would liken it to Wayward Pines. I loved that despite the flesh eating creatures beyond the wall - and I loved Deep despite the zombies. Now I'm looking forward to book two.
