Underwater civilizations populated by water-breathing aliens? And more. Depth Charge drops the reader into undersea realms both Terran and alien. Leading the expedition into realms beneath the waves are expert guides such as Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Silverberg, James Blish, Jack Vance, Gray Rinehart, Brad Torgersen, and more.
