This is Robin Cook's only non-medical novel that I have come across.
Synopsis: A team of researchers in a remote region of the Atlantic become trapped inside an ancient undersea volcano when their submersible is inexplicably drawn in. They discover a technologically advanced world of genetically engineered, physically near-perfect humans living comfortably in an enclosed city.
Fearing for their own safety and the discovery of their civilization, the Moho-dwellers feel they cannot allow their abductees to return to the surface. The research team manages to recover its submersible and mounts an attempt to return to the surface. However, at the last moment they encounter a large Moho craft and emerge to the ocean's surface in the late 18th century. The group abruptly discovers that the craft was actually some sort of advanced Moho time machine that sent them 200 years into the past to prevent them from alerting the surface world to the presence of the Moho-dwellers.(Source: Wikipedia)
The book deals with various theories such as Genetic Engineering, The Hollow Earth Theory and Euthanasia.
Truly a must read for every sci-fi fan out there.
