An international blockbuster...But think twice about making it your beach book.However hot the vacation sun,this novel may give you the shivers...enjoy.

Anyone who has read Frank Schatzing's novel will be thankful for every inch of dry land and will certainly avoid waterbeds.

Something strang and terrible is happening deep in the oceans.Tides and currents are shifting, normally peaceful creatures are attacking, ships are sinking,fishermen drowning. The world ecology is in crisis...and this is just the beginning.

Led by the claret-loving Norwegian Sigur Johanson and the Inuit whale expert Leon Anawak, a motley group of scientists find themselves in a race against time to prevent a global cataclysm - and to head off those who want to exploit it in their own pursuit of power.
