The Nemo Doctrine

The ocean isn't just dying, it's being murdered. The killers are corporations that sink their crimes beneath the waves. Dr. Sofia Vasquez's research is the evidence. It doesn't just document the collapse. It indicts the guilty. When her research vessel is obliterated in the North Atlantic, Sofia is rescued from the debris by a ghost: the legendary submarine Nautilus. Its captain is the eco-terrorist Nemo, and he offers her an impossible choice. He possesses her mother's life's work, a radical nanite technology designed not to study the ocean, but to command it. To use it, Sofia must betray every scientific principle she upholds. She must join Nemo's crew of outcast researchers and scarred survivors, where the war for the future is waged with sabotage and synthetic biology. To fulfill her mother's legacy, Sofia must decide: continue documenting the extinction or become the cause of one.
