The Ghost from the Grand Banks: A hundred years after the sinking of the Titanic, two of the world's most powerful corporations race to find a way to raise and preserve the doomed luxury liner. The quest to uncover the secrets of the wreck and reclaim her becomes an obsession -- and for some, a fatal one. The Deep Range predicts the "farming" of Earth's oceans, essential to the survival of the ever-increasing billions who live above. Walter Franklin is a former spaceman who experienced a terrifying accident in orbit around Mars. His rehabilitation will be unprecedented: He is assigned to join the men and women exploring and evolving in the equally airless world under the sea.
