20-year old Maria Ramirez and 21-year old Lucas Hannigan are prolific ocean explorers selected to explore the Mariana Trench's Challenger Deep to discover more species of sea life. While down in the depths of Challenger Deep, they receive a distress signal like no other- "Whoever's out there, please help! Ceto has been captured! Find the cave where the jellyfish gather!" Rushing to help whoever is in trouble at this depth, they find the cave and charge inside- to find themselves in a whole new world. Diana, queen of the merpeople, desperately needs their help. Ceto, the goddess of sea monsters, was captured by the apex predators of her realm- a prehistoric mashup of a chilling variety of sea monsters- massive sea crocodiles, giant squids the size the Empire State Building, dinosaurs who should have gone extinct millions of years ago, and worst of all- the megalodon. The undersea realm of monsters has been thrown out of balance, and the apex predators control nearly every territory in the hidden world of water- except for the city of Aquaris, where Diana's people live deep inside a sea cliff. With an army of merpeople behind them, Maria, Lucas, and Diana must find a way to free Ceto and save her realm before the apex predators control everything- and before the humans run out of oxygen in their tanks.

A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." "The Immense Journey" by Loren Eiseley "No other place, always this Your earthly landfall, and no ship exists To take you from yourself." By Lawrence Durrell
