The Sea Beasts

Beneath alien waves, something ancient stirs…

The Sea Beasts by A. Bertram Chandler is a gripping science fiction tale that dives deep—literally—into one of the genre’s most imaginative planetary adventures. Known for his mastery of spacefaring tales, Chandler shifts the action from the stars to the ocean depths of an alien world where survival depends not just on courage, but on adapting to the unknown.

Set on a planet dominated by vast oceans, a team of explorers must navigate a world where humanity is not at the top of the food chain. When their underwater research mission goes awry, they encounter creatures far more intelligent—and far more dangerous—than anyone expected. With technology failing and alliances fracturing, the team must confront the terrifying possibility that this planet's true rulers have no interest in peaceful coexistence.

Chandler masterfully blends tension, action, and philosophical musings on evolution, dominance, and our assumptions about intelligence. The Sea Beasts offers readers an edge-of-your-seat journey into an environment that feels both eerily familiar and totally alien.

This isn’t your typical alien encounter—it’s a survival story that pits humanity’s arrogance against the raw power and cunning of nature. And in the end, the question isn't just who will survive... but who will learn.
