"Mitchell Swain is the richest man in the world, until he announces the "ultimate technological breakthrough." The world stops for the press conference--and sees him assassinated. No one knows what he was going to say. Almost no one. Jennifer Rayne intends to find out. A leading journalist covering high-tech, she was scheduled to interview Swain after the press conference. Instead, she investigates his murder. What she finds is a scientist to whom Swain has funneled billions, a desperate U.S. government following the same clues, and a bizarre technology that promises invincibility, immortality, and the ability to destroy any enemy--or the earth itself. Mankind has entered the final arms race. It will last two days"--Publisher's description.

Andre Norton at her best. She spins a tale of one of the first groups to cross over by use of a gate into a new world where wonders and dangers await. Leading us from marvel to marvel - both good and bad - she unrolls a tapestry of fantasy and magic which she so excels at. Rather than tell you further about the tale, I leave it to you to explore it as I did, not knowing the outcomes but enjoying each new event as it happens. A very good read. gmb 7-22-20

Seven years ago, the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a “mockumentary” bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy. Now, a new crew has been assembled. But this time they’re not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life’s work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the waves. But the secrets of the deep come with a price.
