the dragon in the sea
Frank Herbert
Synopsis "the dragon in the sea"
In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden oil reserves beneath the East's continental shelf. But the last twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under the pressure? Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder of the four-man crew--and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison, struggling for survival against the elements . . . and themselves. A gripping novel by the legendary author of Dune.
Frank Patrick Herbert nació en Tacoma, Washington (1920). Antes de comenzar a escribir ciencia ficción, tuvo varias profesiones, desde fotógrafo y cámara de televisión hasta pescador de ostras. En 1965 presenta la serie de libros Las crónicas de Dune, con gran éxito de la crítica y del público, donde describe un mundo imaginario con su propia política, ecología y estructura social. La primera obra de la saga, Dune, supuso un auténtico fenómeno literario y obtuvo los premios Nébula y Hugo, además del Premio Internacional de Fantasía, que compartió con El señor de las moscas de William Golding. Falleció el 11 de febrero de 1986. El resto de entregas de la saga son: El mesías de Dune, Hijos de Dune, Dios emperador de Dune, Herejes de Dune y Casa Capitular: Dune.
