Synopsis

BENEATH THE CALM SURFACE A DEADLY TERROR AWAITS.

In the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest, two fishermen are the first to feel the heat. Then a young girl, playing innocently by the seashore--before dying an agonizing death. Now the media have a story. Reporters, scientists, and government officials are descending on the coastline, searching for a killer in the water. Renegade oceanographer Brock Garner is at the center of the storm.

He wants to know why he's finding dead zones in the Pacific...and why his best friend's heart stopped after he examined ravaged sea lions on a beach. Dr. Ellie Bridges, on duty when the little girl died, has questions of her own. Thrown together in the chaos, Brock and Ellie are about to uncover some disturbing truths: about a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions that is growing. Gathering strength. And moving--unless they can stop it--south toward a new victim. Seattle.

Goodreads review by Audrey on July 08, 2014

This is a pretty good thriller involving some deadly plankton blossoms in the sea that may or may not have been created by man and the deadly tide of these microscopic killers are getting closer and closer to Seattle! The plot was pretty good, there is a lot of science in this book and I found most o......more

Goodreads review by Terry and dog on January 02, 2024

I read this book quite a long time ago, but it has stuck in my mind and obviously passed the test of time. I loved that it is set in the Pacific Northwest, and I found the story to be very engrossing, even though I'm not a "sciencey" person, I was able to catch the gist of what was going on. I think......more

Goodreads review by Greta on January 09, 2021

For starters it was really well written, super informative on the true science bits but written in a way non-sciencefolk (me!) can understand. Plot of the mysterious pfisteria outbreak in the water killing people was fascinating, it made me want to research after and see if something like this is po......more

Goodreads review by B. on December 20, 2023

I absolutely loved this book. So much so that I'm in the process of tracking down the other 3 Powlik books. If I had to describe this one, I would say that this book is closer to a Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child book mixed in with a dash of Ebola by William Close - Glenn Close's father's (nonfictio......more
