As a child all Walter Koch wanted to be when he grew up was a Navy frogman. He never dreamed it would be quite like this.Now a 32-year-old Master Chief in the United States Navy, Koch has been tabbed to test out a new, state-of-the-art diving suit for Project Seadragon. The suit allows a diver to reach incredible depths without the need of cumbersome tanks and diving equipment.A test dive to a wrecked ship four hundred meters below the waves ends in tragedy when an explosion rips the wreck apart, hurling Koch back toward the surface and killing the rest of his diving team. When he awakens, he discovers to his horror that he has been permanently sealed within the suit, it has been fused with his body, and no one knows how to separate the man from the suit.As if his day hasn't been bad enough, he is about to meet Brad Jefferies, head of the mysterious Epsilon Project who brings proof that the accident, and his current condition, was no accident at all.Jefferies convinces Koch to come back to Epsilon with him, where they will actually try to find a way for him to escape his prison. Koch will enter a supernatural shadow world of Exotic Humans, created by the Epsilon Wave of the human mind.And just when Koch's world couldn't get any stranger, he will discover an ancient city, Mu, that sank millennia ago at the same time as the city of Atlantis.Not only are both cities alive and well at the bottom of the ocean floors of the Atlantic and the Pacific, but they are about to embark on yet another war. A war that threatens to engulf the entire world above the waves. ***** Based upon the 1985 comic book series Seadragon and The Epsilon Wave by Elite Comics, award-winning, best-selling author Richard Paolinelli returns to the Seadragon franchise for the first time in over 35 years.
