Who Would Like This Book:
Looking for a gripping blend of sci-fi, horror, and thriller? "Earthcore" might be just the ride for you! This story dives deep - literally - into secretive mining expeditions, creepy underground discoveries, and a cast of morally complex characters. You'll find breakneck pacing, edge-of-your-seat action, and claustrophobic suspense beneath the Wah Wah Mountains. Fans of gory creature features, high-stakes adventure, and a dash of conspiracy will eat this one up, especially if you love authors like Blake Crouch or Larry Correia.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If you're hoping for lovable heroes or a calm, measured journey, this might not be your dig. Some readers found most characters hard to root for and weren't fans of the drawn-out suspense. There’s plenty of violence, tough language, and the sci-fi horror elements can get a little wild. If you prefer realism over sci-fi twists or want more geology than gore, you might come away disappointed.

From The Publisher:
Deep below a desolate Utah mountain lies the largest platinum deposit ever discovered. A billion-dollar find, it waits for any company that can drill a world's record, three-mile-deep mine shaft.
EarthCore is the company with the technology, the resources and the guts to go after the mother lode. Young executive Connell Kirkland is the company's driving force, pushing himself and those around him to uncover the massive treasure.
But at three miles below the surface, where the rocks are so hot they burn bare skin, something has been waiting for centuries.
Waiting ... and guarding. Kirkland and EarthCore are about to find out firsthand why this treasure has never been unearthed.
