Survival. You read the word in comfort. Merely a word on a page. But the day is coming when you may meet its black-eyed stare. Young Justin Mahoney - strangely attuned to the sea, and perhaps mankind's greatest hope for survival -- returns in this sequel to the unforgettable Juncture. Reluctant prophet, Justin is joined by characters beloved and new: Marty Haruo, broken-hearted bagpipe player; Amber Giles, beautiful and bright; Jimmy Maas, apex hunter, and biologist Lacey Goodenall, sharp-tongued, strong-willed and grounded in science, until she's faced with a world rapidly moving beyond anything we know. Now nothing is a given. Change is the only truth. And now, not one, but five prehistoric beings; mother and offspring. Mankind's saviors, or the horsemen of our Apocalypse. In the sapphire blue waters of the tropical paradise of Palau, along the holiday coast of Queensland, off the summertime Outer Banks of North Carolina; everywhere, sea stirrings that are clear warnings. Everywhere, largely ignored. Water whispers a lullaby, but it can also scream. A heart-stopping thriller that may not be fiction at all. We are all connected to the sea.
