"Wildly suspensful...nail-biting fun. Thrilling conclusion." -- Kirkus Reviews
Awarded runner-up honors in the 2012 Green Book Festival contest for general fiction!
A deadly mix of plague and environmental disaster forces a small group to seek refuge in an underwater facility. Located off the coast of California, Pacifica was originally conceived to study alternative energy systems and algae farms as part of America's continued effort to go green. Who knew that its greatest service would be as sanctuary for the human race.
Jesse Baines is one of the fortunate few to make it down to Pacifica--although Jesse doesn't feel all that lucky. Unlike most, Jesse finds Pacifica confining and bleak. And after his parents are lost--one to plague, the other to the sea--he wants out more than ever. But leaving Pacifica is easier said than done.
When a mission back to land is authorized Jesse finally gets his chance. And what the team finds is startling and strange, the environment so vastly altered as to be another planet. Every step upon the cauterized soil brings new adventure, the mystery as deep and dark and dangerous as the Marianas Trench. The obvious threats of disease and cannibalism and searing radiation turn out to be only the beginning.
Why do the majority of survivors have dark skin? What caused the deadly plague and global decline? Come face to face with a creature of impossible origins. And most of all, find out if you have the Darwinian vigor to survive...
