Sinossi
Gennaio, costa del Perù. Il povero pescatore Juan non crede ai suoi occhi: dopo lunghe settimane di magra, si stende davanti a lui un enorme banco di pesci. Ma il terrore cancella ben presto la felicità: i pesci, muovendosi come un unico essere, distruggono la rete, ribaltano la barca e impediscono all'uomo di raggiungere la superficie. Marzo, Norvegia. A bordo di una nave oceanografica un biologo e una scienziata osservano milioni di "vermi" luminescenti che sembrano aver invaso lo zoccolo occidentale. Da dove vengono? Cosa sono? Pochi giorni dopo, Canada. Un gruppo di balene attaccano la Barrier Queen e la affondano. Il mondo intero sarà drammaticamente coinvolto in questi avvenimenti in apparenza così lontani tra loro.

Recensioni
This is probably the only non-political book where I wanted to punch the author in the face after reading it. Possibly the most irritating book I have read since The Dark Tower. the book is fine for about 600 pages, then Frank loses it completely. First off, if after 600 pages you don't care whether Leggi tutto
Sigur Johanson is a wormologist (He's actually a biologist at the university Trontheim and an expert for worms). Accidentally, there's a strange species of deep sea worms that eat a lot of stuff with complicated names. Things threaten to collapse on a continental level. Basically, the world as we kn Leggi tutto
Humanity has gone too far in polluting and destroying the oceans and everything that lives in it. It’s like the ocean itself has decided that humanity needs to be stopped, by all means necessary. Tides are shifting. Peaceful sea creatures suddenly become aggressive and deadly. Ships start sinking. A Leggi tutto
5.0 stars I absolutely loved this epic science fiction novel that attacks climate change and environmentalism in a creative way. This chunky novel reminded me of Neal Stephenson's work because it explored hard science fiction concepts through an epic lense. This is not a character focused story but I Leggi tutto
Borring.... Yawn. Meeting the Queen of yrr couldn't have been any less exciting. Maybe the original would've been better. Maybe a reread? Q: He was one of many, too many. What he'd experienced in the early hours of that morning had been going on elsewhere all over the world. The parallels were striking Leggi tutto
From the first time I laid eyes on the plot of The Swarm , I knew I had to read it. Nature taking revenge through marine animals for all the shit man has caused. Whales killing people, worms coordinating their efforts to cause tsunamis, mutant crabs spreading a deadly virus and so on... I was imagini Leggi tutto
This is by far one of the most amazing books I have ever read in my life. First off, the plot is beyond epic. For as long as we can remember, we have always thought about the existence of aliens in outer space, but we rarely thought about them being underwater. This is where Schatzing does his magic Leggi tutto
