This story takes place about 100 years in the future when the earths population is fed principally from the sea--on whale products or from plankton farms. Its hero is Walter Franklin a grounded space engineer now assigned to a submarine patrol tending the whale herds. DEEP RANGE vibrates with exciting adventures of the mysterious sea: a fight with a giant squid at 12 000 feet a search for a great sea serpent and a heroic rescue of a damaged submarine--all vividly and plausibly portrayed.
