Description
Beneath the World, a Sea by Chris Beckett is a gripping science fiction novel that delves into the darker aspects of human nature. In 1990, British police officer Ben Ronson finds himself in South America investigating a series of bizarre killings linked to a mysterious forest and its eerie inhabitants.
The crimes are shrouded in an otherworldly presence known as the Delta, which seems to exert a strange influence over those who enter it. As Ben delves deeper into the mystery, he becomes increasingly entangled with the enigmatic Duendes - silent, humanoid creatures that expose their victims' suppressed thoughts and fears.
As the lines between reality and madness begin to blur, Ben's own memories of his time in the Zone - a territory that erases all recollections - start to resurface. Will he be able to uncover the truth behind the killings and the sinister forces at play, or will the secrets of the Delta consume him whole?
