While investigating the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, a team led by Dr. Maracot is cut off from their ship and hurled to the bottom of the ocean. There, they find themselves in the remnants of the ancient civilization of Atlantis.
Like some other later works by Arthur Conan Doyle, this novel shows elements of spiritualism and the supernatural, both themes and ideas that interested him later in life.
The Maracot Deep was first serialized in both The Saturday Evening Post and The Strand Magazine between 1927 and 1928, and later published in a book alongside other stories in 1929. This audiobook edition is based on the 1929 edition.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
