Every Version of the Sea (Ebook)

Something is growing in the sea that never existed. Marine biologist Nia Solberg has counted plankton off Cornwall's Manacles reef for six years. Then, fourteen metres down, the green water turns glass-clear in a perfect circle, and inside it is a reef that shouldn't exist: pink and gold, warm, full of fish with too many fins, and a seven-armed creature the colour of oil on water. The DNA comes back from Cambridge. It belongs to a family tree that split from ours four hundred million years ago and kept evolving, in a sea that never was. Then the patches start appearing all over the world, each one a complete ecosystem from a different history of Earth. Then a lab in Basel decides the seven-armed creature is worth billions, and the extraction ships arrive. EVERY VERSION OF THE SEA: a novella of the sea, greed and other worlds.
