Depth Charge

SCIENCE FICTION STORIES FROM THE DEEPS. Space may be the final frontier, but mysteries still lurk in the depths on Earth and other planets.

The oceans of Earth have stirred the imagination of humankind from prehistory to the present day. What exotic lands might lie across those vast watery realms--and what strange things might lie hidden beneath them?

Science fiction has explored those realms in the imagination of writers from Jules Verne to H.G. Wells to H.P. Lovecraft and present day writers. And if the oceans of this planet fire the imagination, what of possible oceans on other planets? Worlds completely covered by a planetwide sea? Underwater civilizations populated by water-breathing aliens? And more.

Depth Charge drops the reader into undersea realms both Terran and alien. Leading the expedition beneath the waves are expert guides such as Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Silverberg, James Blish, Jack Vance, Gray Rinehart, Brad R. Torgersen, and more. Make sure your air tanks are filled to capacity, and set forth to discover what wonders--and possibly terrors--are lurking in the depths.

Jamie Ibson is from the frozen wastelands of Canuckistan, where moose, bears, and geese battle for domination among the hockey rinks, igloos, and Tim Hortons. After joining the Canadian army reserves in high school, he spent half of 2001 in Bosnia as a peacekeeper and came home shortly after 9/11 with a deep sense of foreboding. After graduating college, he landed a job in law enforcement and was posted to the left coast from 2007 to 2021. He retired from law enforcement in early 2021 and moved clear across the country to the Maritimes where he is now a full-time writer and part-time Foodie. Jamie's website can be found at www.ibsonwrites.ca, where he has free short stories available for download. He is married to the lovely Michelle, and they have cats.
