Aquarius Mission

Martin Caidin's near future science fiction in this case focuses on an undersea exploration in the Pacific near Alaska. One submersible is damaged by an unbelievable pod of whales acting in concert while a follow-up mission is destroyed by gigantic electric eels. What is at the bottom of the trench that is defending itself from investigation? The battleship-size research ship Sea Trench dives into the situation, seeking the answers. Excellent, quick-reading novel from the late Caidin who wrote 150 books on aviation, military, and space topics before tackling fiction, some of which became the TV shows Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman and movies like Marooned and (the badly mishandled TV movie) Manfac.
