Deep Earth: The Root Below (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186052791)

Humanity spent decades pumping toxic waste deep beneath the Earth's surface.

No one imagined anything was alive down there.

They were wrong.

Beneath the Earth's crust lies an ancient biological intelligence-a planetary network that has evolved for billions of years, silently connecting life through the deep biosphere. Humanity's pollution has awakened it, and the consequences are only beginning.

Liz Simmons carries the first voluntary link between humanity and this vast consciousness.

Jack Morgan believed he was humanity's ambassador.

Instead, he has become the pathway through which two worlds must learn whether coexistence is even possible.

Governments want control.

The Keepers have their own agenda.

The Root Below seeks something neither side understands:

not revenge-

but healing.

As the interface between species deepens, humanity discovers that peace with an intelligence older than civilization may demand sacrifices greater than war.
