Versuch scheint von Anfang an vom Unglück verfolgt: Ein Techniker wird krank, die Telefonverbindung und schließlich der Strom versagen. Alex und sein Vater schweben hilflos im über 1000 Metern tiefen Meer. Hat jemand das Gefährt sabotiert? Wird es Abbie gelingen, den Saboteur zu stellen und ihren Vater und Bruder sicher an die Oberfläche zu bringen? Alan Milson is the pen name of a writer of science fiction screenplays and suspense novels for adults. Ever since childhood, when he read H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" about Martians invading the Earth, and saw late-night movies about BEMs ('Bug-Eyed-Monsters' to you), he has been fascinated by stories of creatures from other planets. Alan has lived in many countries and knows what it is like to be an 'alien', to feel like the odd person out and to struggle with a language, and to be stared at as a curiosity. No, he doesn't have bug-eyes himself and children don't run screaming when they see him coming, but he does think people should try to make more effort to understand those who don't look or talk like them. And one day he would like to be there when humans make first contact with an alien race as he thinks they will. What about you?
