Call of the Deep

Call of the Deep

A story of the most mysterious place on Earth – and a fascinating true vision of our near future.

At age 16, Leon is already a professional. He is one of the top deep-sea divers who can move about freely even 3,000 ft. under the sea. Together with Lucy, an intelligent female octopus, Leon searches for natural resources on the sea floor. The deep sea is his home, much more familiar to him than “up there”. But then the sea seems to go crazy. On the bottom “death zones” start to spread and the deep-sea inhabitants start to seek refuge above. Panic breaks out on shore. Leon and Lucy discover a fatal experiment during a forbidden dive – and suddenly they are on a powerful corporate group’s hit list. Carima, a young tourist from “up there”, turns out to be Leon’s only ally...

»Enthralling, tense and wonderfully pictorial!« Isabel Abedi on Call of the Deep

„I think this book is fantastic. It could become a bestseller. Leon’s affinity for the sea is absolutely wonderful – you can really feel the mysterious power it has over him. It is great the way it alternates between Leon’s and Carina’s perspectives. It is also cool that it is not only fiction, although it is set in the future. The diving suits, for example, are already being developed. This novel is very realistic.“ (Judith, age 16)
