Lenie Clarke has destroyed the world. The horror she unleashed-an ancient, apocalyptic microbe called ßehemoth-has been free in the world for half a decade now. North America lies in ruins. Digital monsters have taken Clarke's name, wreaking havoc throughout the decimated remnants of something that was once called Internet. Governments have fallen across the globe; warlords and suicide cults rise from the ashes, pledging fealty to the Meltdown Madonna. All because five years ago, Lenie Clarke had a score to settle. But she has learned something in the meantime: she destroyed the world for a fallacy. Now, cowering at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, rifters and the technoindustrial 'corpses' who created them hide from a world in its death throes. But they cannot hide forever. The consequences of past acts reach inexorably towards the very bottom of the world, and Lenie Clarke must finally confront the mess she made. Redemption doesn't come easy with the blood of a world on your hands. But even after five years in purgatory, Lenie Clarke is still Lenie Clarke. There will be consequences for anyone who gets in her way-and worse ones, perhaps, if she succeeds . . .
Peter Watts (Author), Alison Ewing (Narrator)
Audiobook
Lenie Clarke has grown sick to death of her own cowardice. For five years, she and her bionic brethren have hidden in the mountains of the deep Atlantic. The facility they commandeered was more than a secret station on the ocean floor. Atlantis was an exit strategy for the corporate elite, a place where the world's Movers and Shakers had hidden from the doomsday microbe ßehemoth. For five years 'rifters' and 'corpses' have lived in a state of uneasy truce, united by fear of the outside world. An unknown enemy hunts them through the crushing darkness of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. ßehemoth has found them already. The fragile armistice between the rifters and their one-time masters has exploded into all-out war, and not even the legendary Lenie Clarke can take back the body count. Billions have died since she loosed ßehemoth upon the world. The consequences of past acts reach inexorably to the very floor of the world, and Lenie Clarke must return to confront the mess she made. But even after five years in pitch-black purgatory, Lenie Clarke is still Lenie Clarke. There will be consequences for anyone who gets in her way-and worse ones, perhaps, if she succeeds . . .

Audiobook
This is the way the world ends: A nuclear strike on a deep sea vent. The target was an ancient microbe-voracious enough to drive the whole biosphere to extinction-and a handful of amphibious humans called rifters who'd inadvertently released it from three billion years of solitary confinement. The resulting tsunami killed millions. It's not as through there was a choice: saving the world excuses almost any degree of collateral damage. Unless, of course, you miss the target. Now North America's west coast lies in ruins. Millions of refugees rally around a mythical figure mysteriously risen from the deep sea. A world already wobbling towards collapse barely notices the spread of one more blight along its shores. And buried in the seething fast-forward jungle that use to be called Internet, something vast and inhuman reaches out to a woman with empty white eyes and machinery in her chest. A woman driven by rage, and incubating Armageddon. Her name is Lenie Clarke. She's a rifter. She's not nearly as dead as everyone thinks. And the whole damn world is collateral damage as far as she's concerned . . .

Audiobook
Pięć lat temu zniszczyłaś świat. Świat sam sobie na to zasłużył. Z głębin oceanu przyniosłaś mu pewien dar – apokaliptycznego mikroba zdolnego przewrócić całą planetę do góry nogami. Teraz samo DNA znalazło się na krawędzi wymarcia. Ameryka Północna legła w gruzach, opanowana przez wszechmocnego psychopatę. Rządy na całym świecie upadły, a z popiołów wyłonili się samozwańczy przywódcy i samobójcze kulty. A wszystko to dlatego, że pięć lat temu musiałaś wyrównać rachunki. Jednak w międzyczasie dokonałaś zaskakującego odkrycia: zniszczyłaś świat z powodu fałszywych pozorów. Od kilku lat ukrywasz się pośród gór w głębinach Atlantyku. Nie możesz jednak tkwić tam wiecznie. Konsekwencje twoich przeszłych czynów zaczynają sięgać aż na same dno świata – i nagle nawet tam nie da się już cofnąć liczby ofiar. Tak czy inaczej, musisz wreszcie wypić piwo, którego sama sobie nawarzyłaś.

Audiobook
Oto jak skończy się świat. Wybuch jądrowy na głębokomorskim ryfcie. Celem ataku był pradawny mikrob – tak żarłoczny, że mógłby doprowadzić do zagłady całej biosfery – oraz garstka amfibiotycznych ludzi zwanych ryfterami, którzy nieumyślnie wypuścili go na zewnątrz po trzech miliardach lat odosobnienia. Powstałe w wyniku wybuchu tsunami pochłonęło wiele milionów istnień. Nie było innego wyboru – ocalenie świata usprawiedliwia przypadkowe ofiary. Gorzej, że ktoś chybił. Zachodnie wybrzeże Ameryki Północnej legło w gruzach. Miliony uchodźców gromadzą się wokół mitycznej postaci, która w tajemniczy sposób wyłoniła się z oceanu. Świat, który chyli się już ku upadkowi, ledwie zauważa kolejną plagę, szerzącą się na wybrzeżu. Coś ogromnego i nieludzkiego, ukrytego we wnętrzu pędzącej na złamanie karku dżungli, zwanej kiedyś Internetem, próbuje dosięgnąć kobiety o zatopionej w piersi maszynerii i pustych, białych oczach. Kobiety, której działaniami kieruje wściekłość. Kobiety, która nosi w sobie Armagedon. Na imię jej Lenie Clarke. Jest ryfterką. I nie jest nawet w połowie tak martwa, jak się wszyscy spodziewali. W jej mniemaniu cały cholerny świat jest tylko jedną, wielką przypadkową ofiarą...

Audiobook
Ogromna, międzynarodowa korporacja wybudowała obiekt na grzbiecie Juan de Fuka, na dnie Pacyfiku, by móc wykorzystywać nagromadzoną tam energię geotermalną. Następnie wysłała tam zmodyfikowaną biologicznie załogę - ludzi przystosowanych do oddychania wodą morską i znoszenia ogromnego ciśnienia - która ma żyć i pracować w tym osobliwym, podwodnym świecie. Niestety, jedyni ludzie, którzy na dłuższą metę nadają się do pracy w eksperymentalnych elektrowniach, to szaleńcy. Część z nich na swój nieprzyjemny sposób. Ilu z nich dane będzie przetrwać, podczas gdy całemu światu zagraża niebezpieczeństwo z oceanicznych głębin?

Audiobook
It's the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence. Daniel Bruks is a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational. He's turned his back on humanity, but awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out. He's trapped on a ship bound for the center of the solar system. A vampire and its entourage of zombie bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind. And dead ahead, a handful of rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they will only call The Angels of the Asteroids.
