In a post-apocalyptic world submerged by war, remnants of civilization struggle for survival amidst the ruins of Universalis and Population. Ralla Gattley and Thom Vargas endure harsh conditions on a polar ice island, while soldier Geran Lo battles to rescue trapped civilians beneath the waves. As they confront the relentless dangers of their environment, a new, formidable threat looms, intensifying their fight for survival. This sequel in the Undersea Saga delves into themes of resilience and human connection amidst devastation.

"It's a hot summer night, and Hugh Dalgarno, a 31-year-old clerical worker, thinks his brain is broken. Over the course of a day and night in an uncannily depopulated public park, waiting to meet someone who never shows, he will sift through the pieces and traverse the baroque landscape of his own thoughts: the theology of nosiness, the beauty of the arbutus tree, the pathos of Gene Hackman, the theory of quantum immortality, Louis Riel's letter to an Irish newspaper, the sanctity of baseball, the baleful influence of Calvinism on the Scottish working class, the sea, the CIA, and, ultimately, thinking itself and how it may be represented in writing. The result is a strange, meandering sojourn, as if the history-haunted landscapes of W. G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn were shrunk down to a mere 85 acres. These digressions are anchored by remarks from the letters of Keats, by snatches of lyrics from Irish rebel songs and Scottish folk ballads, and, above all else, by the world-shattering call of the red-winged blackbird."-- Provided by publisher
