It has taken a long time, but humankind has won its battle against the sea. Now, professionals harvest plankton with which to feed the world, but like space, the sea has not yielded all its secrets, and men such as Franklin, the protagonist of this tale, will never rest until all its fathomless mysteries have been challenged.

Industry Reviews

The price precludes this being listed as science fiction, so let's call it science fiction de luxe. But I for one found it the first ??F I could read with complete absorption. Here is a Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea of the future, without a villain, to be sure, unless one could classify the giant monsters of the deep in that category. It is a story of a space man transferred to another medium- the undersea world off the coral reef; of a world which depends on the vast herds of whales for their meat, on the plancton meadows for their vegetables; on men trained to keep the balance. It is exciting adventure in what is still an eerie unknown world. Arthur Clarke is known for space stories- for the non-fiction The Coast of Coral and knows whereof he writes. At the end he injects a conservation-vegetarian angle which takes a bit away from the straight adventure aspects. (Kirkus Reviews)
