Review
"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 "Peter Watts delivers--solid, inventive hard SF about the deep sea, but as we've never seen before. This moves like the wind." --Gregory Benford
