Do Not Answer The Water – Paperback

Mara Sloane has spent her career studying the sounds of the ocean. She knows how easily people can hear things that aren’t there.

But when an underwater microphone picks up her dead mother’s voice, she knows something is wrong.

Mara is aboard the research vessel Morrow to investigate strange signals near the Blackwater Shelf, where a fishing boat disappeared three months earlier. At first, the crew suspects faulty equipment. Then their instruments begin recording sounds no one can explain.

Something enormous is moving beneath the water. It responds to their voices, imitates people they know, and seems to understand exactly what they want to hear.

When one of those voices nearly lures a crew member overboard, Mara realizes the danger is far worse than anyone admitted before the expedition began.

Someone knew what was waiting beneath the surface.

And whatever it is, it’s learning.

The crew came looking for answers. Now their best chance of surviving may be to stop listening.
