Book Synopsis
The year is 2033. Because of inadequate living space on land, humans experiment with living in a submarine city in the deep Indian Ocean. A team of scientists from around the world are aboard to explore their ocean floor surroundings via bathyscaphes. They encounter a variety of known and unknown sea creatures. Readers will not believe what else they discover.
Elizabeth, an Iowa farmer's daughter is one of the scientists, who is willing to explore in a bathyscaphe, faces challenge after challenge. In college, she fought to stem climate change on Earth. She calls corporations, which donate to politicians to pass climate change legislation, foxes who are volunteering to help chickens stop the decline of their population in the henhouse.
Elizabeth also fights to protect the life of an amazing discovery from being dangerously examined by the leader of the Command Center that governs the team of scientists.
