The Atlantic Abomination

"One of the most important science fiction authors. Brunner held a mirror up to reflect our foibles because he wanted to save us from ourselves." --SF Site For each generation, there is a writer meant to bend the rules of what we know. Hugo Award winner (Best Novel, STAND ON ZANZIBAR) and British science fiction master John Brunner remains one of the most influential and respected authors of all time, and now E-Reads is pleased to re-introduce many of his classic works. For readers familiar with his vision, it's a chance to re-examine his thoughtful worlds and words, while for new readers, Brunner's work proves itself the very definition of timeless. In THE ATLANTIC ABOMINATION, an exploratory expedition to the bottom of the Atlantic first discovers the remnants of a long-lost civilization and then the enormous body of an alien being preserved for unknown millennia. An attempt to raise the body unleashes a horror beyond imagining as the creature revives from a long sleep and begins to exert control over men's minds--throughout the world. A classic SF horror story in the mode of John W. Campbell's THE THING, the source material for SF thriller movies in the 1950s and again, via John Carpenter, in the 1980s.
