{"product_id":"abyssal-ripley-shaine-9798999009531","title":"Abyssal","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eExo-marine biologist Arizona Birch chooses Thalassa-IX because it is distant, silent, and forgotten-an icy ocean world far from the gravity of her father's death.\u003c\/strong\u003e The posting promises solitude and closure. Instead, it offers a reckoning. The research station she touches down on is barely functional, staffed by a skeletal crew and surrounded by a collapsing marine ecosystem. Worse still, the walls themselves are alive-lined with a vast neural linked coral structure no one can fully explain. As Arizona digs through her father's legacy, she realizes Thalassa-IX was not an escape from his legacy but its endpoint. \u003cstrong\u003eHer father did not simply study the deep. He reshaped it.\u003c\/strong\u003eAt the heart of the dying ocean lurks a genetically engineered leviathan, grown using his own DNA-an organism that has devastated the planet's biodiversity and refuses to stay buried. As Arizona begins to experience its memories, instincts, and hunger as her own, the boundary between scientist and creation erodes. With the fate of Thalassa-IX (and herself) hanging in the balance, Arizona must confront the cost of scientific ambition and decide whether to destroy the last living fragment of her father... or allow it to complete the work he began.Perfect for fans of authors like S.A. Barnes or Darcy Coates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ripley Shaine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798999009531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Obsidian Quill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Ripley Shaine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623670722815,"sku":"9798999009531","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abyssal-ripley-shaine-9798999009531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
