She read what I handed her, and then said, diplomatically, This is good, Brian, but I was thinking more along the line that the ocean is fighting back against humans. Then I began typing it up-a story set in Hawaii that had the ocean (and its problems) in the background.
I spent some time brainstorming with her, and in a spiral notebook I made notes about the setting, characterizations, and plot.
One day several years ago, my wife Jan returned from a trip to Hawaii, and she had an idea for a novel that was simple yet large in scope-as many great ideas are-a story about problems in the ocean that she’d been wanting to write for years.

Their commander, Kimo Pohaku, announces his startling intention: The complete liberation of the seas from human control.įinally, the ocean is fighting back, but it might be too late…. The marine armada is led by hybrid, transformed humans who call themselves Sea Warriors, ocean-rights zealots who can swim to the deepest regions of the sea and live off the bounty of the waters. Huge blue whales, sharks, dolphins, and even monstrous creatures thought to be extinct-all strike with ferocity and surprising strength.
In 2024, Earth is consumed by a great War of Ocean Liberation: a military force of sea creatures attacks naval installations, shuts down shipping lanes and fishing operations, and destroys offshore oil-drilling rigs. Bestselling author Brian Herbert and his wife, Jan, have combined their talents to create an epic ecological fantasy novel.
