人類鬥爭、大海變異──生在一定會滅絕人類的災變中,
放棄武力只用言語戰鬥的倖存者,究竟可以走到什麼地方?

青澄誠司繼承景仰者的遺志,立志成為以言語戰鬥的外交官,然而他面對的現況極端險惡。

變異海洋大舉吞噬陸地,各國緊急改造人類基因,製造出住在大海的「海上民」和陸地的「陸上民」──海上民乘坐叫做「魚舟」、外型如鯨魚的生物漂泊求存,陸上民在腦中裝載人工智慧體,協助適應嚴苛環境。雙方資源有限,紛爭不斷;而不斷惡化的海洋上,食人魚上陸、帶疫病的水母四處飄浮……

在這樣破敗的世界,寧願當個工作狂也不願打好人際關係的青澄,受內鬥牽連貶至大海協調海上民與陸上民的紛爭。不求名利的他樂在其中,打造海陸共存道路。一日,他奉命接觸海上船團,帶頭者是叫做「月染」的傳奇女性,傳說她不老不死,隻身率領龐大船團,以美麗歌聲引領魚舟,卻不隸屬任何國家。

日本政府憂心船團勢力坐大,希望她服從日本。但青澄一見到乘風破浪前來的不羈女子便領會她是大海兒女,誰也無法束縛。聽完青澄來意,月染爽快提出建立海上交易站的條件,讓不同國籍的人自由買賣,之後才願意合作──她深受海上民的信任,青澄認為這是謀求和平的機會,但政府竟在協商其間殘殺無辜海上平民!

陸上爭端未歇,海上颳起腥風。青澄的信念備受試煉,一來一往的言語可如刀劍,但名為「談判」的武器如何對抗真槍實彈的陰謀?
少數人類從災難倖存,這場虐殺卻將成為下一場浩劫的起點……面對不可信任的陸上民,背負海洋命運的月染下一步是什麼?

海上民與陸上民交織而出,屬於地球史詩的最後一頁,磅礴開始!

廢話很多,角色塑造薄弱,花很多力氣在描寫行政程序、各種過場,場面話滿滿,導致嚴重失焦,雖然背景設定特別,但閱讀過程中沒有對那個世界設定感到什麼期待,大部頭的頁數到最後只是歹戲拖棚,煩燥也滿滿。
