Overview

"There's no shortage of action, intrigue, or daring exploits in this aquatic thriller." - Publishers Weekly

Ty has always known that the ocean is a dangerous place. Every time he swims beyond the borders of his family's subsea farm, he's prepared to face all manner of aquatic predators-sharks, squid, killer whales . . .

What Ty isn't prepared to find in the deep is an entire township chained to a sunken submarine, its inhabitants condemned to an icy underwater grave. It's only the first clue to a mystery that has claimed hundreds of lives and stands to claim two more -- lives very precious to Ty and his Topsider ally, Gemma.

Now in a desperate race against the clock, Ty and Gemma find themselves in conflict with outlaws, Seaguard officers, and the savage, trident-wielding surfs -- plus a menagerie of the most deadly creatures the ocean has to offer.

Kat Falls brings to life the mysteries, marvels, and monsters of the deep in this fast-paced and inventive action-adventure.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
Praise for RIP TIDE:

"As with its predecessor, there's no shortage of action, intrigue, or daring exploits in this aquatic thriller. Atmospheric and tense, built around an expertly used postapocalyptic-meets-Wild West setting, this story's a whole lot of fun and won't disappoint fans of the first book." - PW

Praise for DARK LIFE:

"Nifty premise, solid characterization, and tense moments . . . contribute to a cinematic reading experience. Falls's undersea world warrants further exploration." - Publishers Weekly

"A definite must-read for SF fans." - Voice of Youth Advocates

"The exotic setting and well-conceived details about undersea living, along with likable characters and a minor surprise at the end, will keep readers turning the pages." - Booklist
