Depth Charge

Depth Charge Synopsis

The oceans of Earth have stirred the imagination of humankind from prehistory to the present day. What exotic lands might lie across those vast watery realms—and what strange things might lie hidden beneath them? Science fiction has explored those realms in the imagination of writers from Jules Verne to H.G. Wells to H.P. Lovecraft and present day writers. And if the oceans of this planet fire the imagination, what of possible oceans on other planets? Worlds completely covered by a planetwide sea? Underwater civilizations populated by water-breathing aliens? And more. Depth Charge drops the reader into undersea realms both Terran and alien. Leading the expedition into realms beneath the waves are expert guides such as Robert Silverberg, Arthur C. Clarke, Gregory Benford, Jacob Holo, James Blish, and more. Make sure your air tanks are filled to capacity, and set forth to discover what wonders—and possibly terrors—are lurking in the depths.
