Summer Reading Recommendation - The Swarm

Review 

Written by german author Frank Schätzing, translated by Sally Ann Spencer. The Swarm is a science fiction book with some of the most accurate representation of marine biology, geology and geophysics to display the apocalyptic effects that marine life could pose if their natural behaviors turned awry.

When a new species of bristleworms is discovered chewing down on methane hydrates on the continental shelf, it becomes clear to scientists around the world that something is disturbing the aquatic ecosystem as marine animals turn to their sadistic and unnaturally aggressive behaviors. Whales begin to capsize tourist boats, huge outbreaks of contaminations found in seafood, abnormal presence of sharks showing up near shores and series of catastrophic events sets the entire world in complete havoc.
