This mystery, intrigue, and adventure story may be only a year or two away from real-life events. Two women scientists intend to capture DNA samples of discovered remarkable life forms within vents existing in the deepest ocean depths. These vents support life forms with a process called chemosynthesis which lets them input methane and other noxious gases and ultimately output protoplasm. Their captured DNA could be used to transform energy equations across the globe, yielding food from gases now treated as harmful, plus fantastic medical discoveries. A dark application could create deadly weapons as well. Implications for enormous wealth combined with this dark side bring shadowy terrorists along on the expedition. What follows is intrigue, drama, and intense romances between the women scientists and crew members, who may turn out to be the enemy. Deeptide integrates expected greed-driven intrigue with genetics-driven discoveries that may literally be around the corner.
