About this listen
More gripping than Crichton, classier than Cussler, Frank Schätzing's record-breaking ecological thriller is now in audiobook.
Frank Schätzing's amazing novel is a publishing phenomenon with translation rights sold around the world, drawing rave reviews for both pulsating suspense and great scientific knowledge.
The world begins to suffer an escalating and sensational series of natural disasters, and two marine biologists begin to develop a theory that the cause lies in the oceans, where an entity know as the Yrr has developed a massive network of single-cell organisms. It is wreaking havoc in order to prevent humankind from destroying the Earth's ecological balance forever.
The Americans, under the ruthless General Judith Lee, take a more pragmatic approach than the scientists, seeking to wipe out the being of the deep.
The scene is set for a massive confrontation....
©2004 Verlag Kiepenheuer & Witsch, Koln (P)2004 Hodder & Stoughton LimitedLooking forward to watch the upcoming German series.
Almost hoping that Yrr exist. Lesson to humanity’s prodigal abuse to Mother Nature long overdue.

Not finished yet, but the science suck. Hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs, not methane. Neither methane or methane hydrate contain sulfur, so there is no reason for "sulfur bacteria" to be involved in a methanotrophic consortium.
The world is not in an energy crisis, we have more fossil fuels than we could ever use.
Tsunamis have little or no effect in deep water, even in the shallows of the Norwegian oilfields it is highly unlikely that an oil rig would be damaged at all. By the time a tsunami is running up a beach it will have slowed down to >50km/h (32m/h). Unless the pilot is fast asleep or the helicopter completely cold a tsunami will not endanger the aircraft once it is in the air.
The US military have no rank named "General Commander."
I'm not a nitpicker but there is a difference between artistic license and being too lazy to Google...
Methane does not have an odor.
