About this listen

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 longterm 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?

Some very disturbing chapters dealing with trauma and childhood sexual abuse may be too much for some readers.

The world Peter Watts has crafted is bizarre in setting and believable in its exploration of biology, neurology and trauma. I have listened to this twice and wish the rest of this series was published in audio.

I've read this book a while ago, and now I'm looking forward to listening to the trilogy. Nice to see someone tackle themes about trauma survivors, with a little body horror mixed in.

a great start

This was one of the best stories I’ve listened too!!! I couldn’t stop, in fact I listen long into the night.
