Run! Or Swim for Your Life! The Sea Critters Are Angry!

Summary

---

The Swarm puts the science into science fiction -- wherever there's a watery battlefront, there are hordes of scientists, all explaining in 14-syllable Latin words the science behind what's happening.

Don't be daunted. [Frank Schatzing] appears to know whereof he speaks when he tells us just what we're doing to doom ourselves ecologically, and the science definitely enhances the thrills.

Schatzing spends a lot of time developing his scientists as people. He's into dialogue and characterzation and back story, which hits you all the harder when someone suddenly and terribly dies. Don't get too attached to anyone.
