Strange events start to occur in the oceans: whales attack ships, toxic jellyfish appear off the coast of Chile, mussels spread across the North Sea and a Norwegian biologist, Sigur Johanson, finds odd traces of a deep-sea worm that is eating methane hydrates. A Canadian whale expert, Leon Anawak, and a number of scientists and military leaders begin to suspect an intelligence behind the events. As natural disasters strike coastal cities around the world, the characters race to understand what is happening in the depths.
A long science-fiction thriller for those who like ecological disaster stories and a mix of science and suspense in the style of Michael Crichton.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
