About this ebook
In the bestselling tradition of Jaws, from the depths of the sea comes a new kind of terror.
In all his years as a professional diver, Will Sturman has never encountered a killing machine more ferocious than the great white shark or as deadly as the piranha. Now, off the coast of California, something is rising from the deep—and multiplying. Voracious, unstoppable, and migrating north, an ungodly life form trailed by a gruesome wake of corpses. With the help of the brilliant and beautiful oceanographer Valerie Martell, Will finds himself in a race against time to stop the slaughter—by a predator capable of devastating the world’s oceans.
Pray it kills you quickly.

What made movies/books like Jaws and Jurassic Park successful was their motif of pitching their protagonists against the "villains" in an us-against-them fight for survival. This gave the viewers an almost personal stake in the victory of the heroes. "Below", however, treats its villains as just impersonal chess pieces set in the stage by the unstoppable climate change caused by the thoughtless action of Man. This feeling of immutability of stakes dooms this book from any chance of commercial success.

This was a very interesting book in that it was very informative in the Humbolt squid. I didn't realize that there were so many types of squid. I am now more aware of how we all influence all the other species in the world. A very great read. Excellent!
