A man discovers the planet's destiny in the ocean's depths in this near-future novel by one of the twentieth century's greatest science fiction authors.
In the very near future, humanity has fully harnessed the sea's immense potential, employing advanced sonar technology to control and harvest untold resources for human consumption. It is a world where gigantic whale herds are tended by submariners and vast plankton farms stave off the threat of hunger.
Former space engineer Walter Franklin has been assigned to a submarine patrol. Initially indifferent to his new station, if not bored by his daily routines, Walter soon becomes fascinated by the sea's mysteries. The more his explorations deepen, the more he comes to understand man's true place in natureâ??and the unique role he will soon play in humanity's future.

Buchbeschreibung
In einer nicht allzufernen Zukunft ist die Welternährung abhängig geworden von riesigen Walherden, die in den Ozeanen gezüchtet werden. Aber auch diese Ernährungsquelle für den verzweifelten Kampf gegen den Hunger gerät in Gefahr: Bald gibt es Walwilderer und eine illegale Wal-Touristik innerhalb der Sperrgebiete.
immerhin wird am Ende das Schlachten von Walen eingestellt, sie werden dann nur noch als Milchwale gezüchtet. ( )
