Happy release day to author Jackie Sonnenberg.
Blending futuristic science fiction, underwater adventure, prehistoric terror, and sea monster horror, The Fathoms Below is a thrilling and imaginative story about identity, transformation, survival, and the terrifying mysteries hidden in the darkest parts of the ocean.
A story both futuristic… and prehistoric.”
What if humanity didn’t evolve away from the ocean…but from it?
In the future, science has uncovered a shocking truth: humans evolved from merpeople.
Now, thanks to radical advances in genetics and medicine, humanity has found a way to return to its origins. Beneath the waves, a new civilization is rising—one built on the dream of reclaiming the oceans and transforming the deep sea into humanity’s next frontier.
But there are some things that did not go extinct.
19-year-old Dallas Dwight is one among many to become new merfolk. And while she is getting used to her new body, she has to get used to a new environment that is still new to civilization.
While Dallas is trying to learn where exactly she fits into it, she also learns things about her new self. Her singing talent on land adapted into something else under the sea: Echolocation, and this proves to be more useful than she ever imagined.
Her new home is threatened by an unknown monster, something from the deep that has discovered this new and plentiful food source. Merpeople go missing and bodies turn up in pieces. The search is on for what lurks in the deep to find it before it finds the rest of them.
So much of the ocean is still a mystery, and so much of the wild side is still dominant. And still the top of the food chain.
The longer Dallas gets to know her new environment, the more she learns the first rule of survival that never aged: Hunt or be hunted.
