Margaret and Eric Hauptman, senior scientists for the Pacific Institute of Oceanography, discover a shocking new species on an expedition to the Galapagos Islands, a discovery that initiates a wild attempt to capture an aquatic creature that is not only intelligent, it's the most dangerous predator on the planet. The Hauptman's suffer physical and emotional damage as the institute questions their mental states, and the navies of both America and Russia attempt to capture the creatures for use as a weapon. This book is dedicated to the ethical treatment of all animals, including those that we fear and despise. God bless all that care for animals and work to preserve them.
