About This Book

The narrative opens with the sudden worldwide appearance of thick, jelly-like deposits on coasts that prove to be living protoplasm. Scientific teams analyze the substance and erupt into heated controversy over its origin, debating spontaneous formation versus uplift from the ocean floor. As observations spread, the initially minor curiosity gains urgency, and researchers confront the biological mystery and the potentially ominous consequences of a newly emergent basic life-substance.
