Beschreibung
It is 2010. In two years' time it will be the centennial of the sinking of the Titanic. Two of the world's most powerful corporations race to raise the vessel but there are other powers at work, and chaos theory comes into play as plans progress - and six preserved bodies are found.
This novel incorporates two of Arthur C. Clarke's passions - deep sea exploration and future technology - in a fast-moving tale of mysetry and adventure. As operations proceed, the perfectly preserved body of a beautiful girl is found. She was not on the ship's passenger lists.
The quest to uncover the secrets of the wreck and reclaim her becomes an obsession . . . and for some, a fatal one.

Biografie
Arthur C. Clarke zählt neben Isaac Asimov und Robert A. Heinlein zu den größten Science-Fiction-Autoren aller Zeiten. Geboren 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, studierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Physik und Mathematik am King's College in London. Zugleich legte er mit seinen Kurzgeschichten und Romanen den Grundstein für eine beispiellose Karriere als SF-Autor. Neben zahllosen Sachbüchern gehören zu seinen bedeutendsten Werken die Romane "Die letzte Generation" sowie 2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum". Clarke verstarb Anfang des Jahres 2008.
