About

A huge international corporation has developed a facility along the Juan de Fuca Ridge at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to exploit geothermal power. They send a bio-engineered crew-people who have been altered to withstand the pressure and breathe the seawater-down to live and work in this weird, fertile undersea darkness.

Unfortunately the only people suitable for long-term employment in these experimental power stations are crazy, some of them in unpleasant ways. How many of them can survive, or will be allowed to survive, while worldwide disaster approaches from below?

    Reviews

    "Gritty action and realistic science...a dark and vivid world."
    David Brin
    "The dark universe of the sea bottom and the rich characterization captivate to the last page. Watts makes a brilliant debut with a novel that is part undersea adventure, part psychological thriller, and wholly original."
    Booklist (starred review)
    "A very impressive book, highly original in its setting and unusually ingenious."
    Brian Stableford
