Professor Bernice Summerfield: The Poison Seas (#4.03)
By David Bailey

The Poison Seas
From The Back Cover...

Bernice has visited the planet Chosan before, so she seems the ideal candidate to intervene when a Sea Devil colony there comes under threat from a terrorist cell. Under cover of visiting an old friend, Bernice sets out to learn who is working in league with the terrorists to ensure the eradication of the colony.

But as she delves deeper under the oceans of Chosan, she discovers that something else ­ something much more ancient and powerful ­ wants rid of the Sea Devils. Soon, every living thing on the planet is in peril. And all because there's no place like home...

Memorable Quotes

Lurnix: "May this ocean take you and claim you, make you one with it..."

Benny: "The next time you volunteer me for an undercover, counter-terrorism mission can you make sure it isn't happening several hundred metres below sea level?"

Lurnix: "It was science, human progress and their pollution that forced us to leave our home and come here. I will not let science decide my fate again."

Petersen: "Is she going to be trouble?" Carver: "A tourist like her? No, no trouble. Just another innocent victim..."

Benny: "Someone's been murdered. That's the universal signal for not right."

Nedda: "I may not subscribe to our old religion, but I would be a fool not to believe that bigger things guide our destiny."

Benny: "Are you sure that's old enough to be as bitter and twisted as you so obviously are?"

Comments
