Description
Journalist Anthony Fennell pursues a story buried at the bottom of the sea: the network of tiny fibre-optic tubes carrying the world's information across the ocean floor, and what happens when they break. He travels to Cape Town to board the George Lecointe, a cable repair vessel captained by Chief of Mission John Conway. Conway is a talented engineer and fearless freediver, and Fennell is quickly captivated by this mysterious, unsettling man and his beautiful partner, Zanele. As the vessel travels along Africa's west coast, Fennell learns the rhythms of life at sea. But when the mission begins to falter, tensions rise, and Conway is thrown into crisis by a terrible, violent tragedy unfolding in the life he has left behind on land. When Conway disappears, Fennell sets out to find him. This taut, propulsive thriller also explores narrative and truth.
