Recensione

"Hamilton-Paterson bewitches us with history, mystery and science. . . . The treasure junkie's summer read [with a] subversive sense of humor that makes Hamilton-Paterson so much fun.-The Washington Post Book World
"Hamilton-Paterson proves to be a chronicler of the intrigue among a crew of strangers, a font of lore about wrecks and deep-sea exploration, and a marvelous witness to the lightless wonders of profound depths."-Outside
"In Three Miles Down, [Hamilton-Paterson] moves beyond the typical adventure formula and gives us a story that lingers on people and place and on small, genuine curiosities."-the New York Times Book Review
"Exciting, perceptive, imaginative, articulate, suspenseful, brilliant . . . the best thing about this book is that every word of it is true."-Richard Ellis, author of imagining Atlantis
