Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar



     Remember the Chilean mine rescue in 2010?  You know that all 33 men came out alive, but this is the whole story.  The men made a pact not to reveal what happened underground for the first 18 days (before a small hole was bored 2000 feet down to provide them with food & communication), until they were ready. 

      This book makes you really understand the trials the trapped men were facing, and the difficulties the rescuers and families were experiencing.  Also fascinating is how the men felt about becoming instant celebrities.  It wraps up with a “where are they now” update.  I highly recommend this book!
