Darker Water

2089, four kilometres below the ocean surface…

Underwater stations are home to hunderds of miners, engineers and biologists. They are tasked with excavating ProLEC, the miracle bacteria that is the solution to the energy crisis.

Betty, a miner, is at the bottom of the pecking order despite her years of experience.

Maia, a newbie engineer, knows she has the smarts to make it to the top.

Audley, a biologist, is on track to become the youngest science lead ever.

But something is very wrong with the ProLEC. Peaceful sea creatures are becoming bloodthristy fiends; unprecedented power cuts and tremors wrack the station.

As Betty, Maia and Audley grow closer to the truth, and to each other, they are in far more danger than they could ever imagine.

A claustrophobic YA sci-fi thriller set in the ocean’s depths.
