No one lives in Earth’s oceans. Except the sharks.And one has spotted Jake.Can he survive the wildlife of Earth and live long enough to ask for help for his dying planet?Sleepers is the first book of an exciting science fiction trilogy that forces a dying world to beg for refuge on Earth.

And if we find other intelligent life, how will we treat them?

From the Author:
Q: There's a lot of science-related stuff in this book. For example, there's the question of controlling a black hole's pull. Is that just a bunch of pseudo-science?
A: I'm glad you asked! I want my science fiction to be based on the possibilities of science. No, things I mention aren't currently possible, such as interstellar travel. However, I consulted volcanologists, physicists and other scientists for the science in the book. As one scientist said, "The explanations are plausible enough to make graduate students argue about it."
