Книга "Phantom Prospect" (Фантомный прорект) рассказывает о группе отважных искателей сокровищ, которые уверены, что обнаружили место крушения легендарного военного корабля "Фантом", затонувшего у берегов Новой Шотландии почти двести лет назад. Говорили, что на борту корабля находилось невероятно большое сокровище. Однако под водой скрывается нечто невероятное и ужасное. Некоторые несчастные дайверы сталкиваются с огромной акулой, которую считали вымершей - мегалодоном.
Археолог Анья Крид всегда проявляла здравый ум и осторожность в отношении акул. Но когда ее исследовательский друг просит о помощи, Анья решает рискнуть и отправляется в глубины холодной Атлантики, настойчиво ища правду. Вместо этого она обнаруживает, что на sabotaged корабле находится неизвестный предатель. Смерть поджидает ее как над, так и под поверхностью океана, и Анье придется сразиться с самым опасным врагом в своей жизни.
Phantom Prospect is the highly anticipated sequel to Alex Archer's bestselling stand alone novel Rising from Atlantis, set in Nova Scotia. Every fossil, shark tooth and corner of the wreckage has yielded a clue to a fantastical treasure, and the uninvited collectors on board were crushed to find themselves trapped. Outmatched by logistics and time running out, will Annja and Benny make it out alive?
When Annja stretches the boldest of guesses and delves below the waves, six miles down into unfathomable depths, she uncovers evidence of the daringest undertaking in the history of one species: Man. Affliction overwhelmed by her swift discovery of a critical contradiction in her chosen life's work, Annja's determination is put to test anew just how closely shared human folly can plunge a contending captain and his crew to ravenous carrion. A booming megalodon rises, its deadly prow ready to smash through Annja' s vessel like an enraptured silent film snuff film scene complete with symphonic grunts and panicked screams.
For Annie Creed the vortex that calls to her under the ocean explains all while entombing her on the verge of life and death. Annja encounters handsome yet despicable Trevor Hazard aided by Sam Packer, the owner of the Wreck Salvage Operation and an acquaintance of Trevor's ex-wife Doreen Luce and a colleague, Henry Rammko, the man believed carried Nelson's letters in a vent relic recovered from Shadow Luck. Her sense makes her quest for answers deeper still; sapping her friendships, her ideals and slowly disintegrating her sense of self. Yet despite the headwind set by Trevor Hazard, Annja negotiates diverse elements of mystery. Likely abandoning sailing customers on her beloved Rising Thunder and opportunity that should have been hers, posing as a mere tourist for the ghost town's tangled past, true faces gradually start to come to light aboard the Wreck.

But when a researcher friend asks for her help, Annja braves the deep, cold waters of the Atlantic, determined to discover the truth.
