Weidenfeld & Nicholson. 2022
Pioneering marine biologist Dr Ha Nguyen has been sent to
the remote Con Dao Archipelago te investigate
a highly intelligent, dangerous species of octopus.
There are interested parties watching her closely. Parties with deep pockets and dangerous ambitions, motivated by far more than scientific interest.
Nguyen is unprepared for what she will find under the water. It will have a profound impact on humankind, and devastating consequences for the octopuses themselves, once her research is made public.
But the octopuses haven’t had their say yet.
