Blurb (from back cover): "In Paris, a young physicist performs an oceanographic experiment-then dies mysteriously after a romantic tryst with a beautiful stranger.
"In the jungles of Malaysia, powerful hypersonic cavitation technology-capable of toppling mountains with sound-is purchased by a private interest for an unspecified purpose.
"In Vancouver, a businessman leases a small research submarine for use in the waters off New Guinea.
"In Tokyo, in Los Angeles, in Antarctica, in the Solomon Islands...an intelligence agent races to put all the pieces together to prevent a global catastrophe."
Opinion: Pretty good book from the creator of ER (a show that I used to watch religiously). Certain parts are suspenseful. I like how Mr. Crichton interlocked fiction with global warming research. It makes the book even more scary to think that the major events that were being tried, could actually happen. Overall, a good read.
