陸地の大半が水没した25世紀、人工都市に住む陸上民の国家連合と遺伝子改変で海に適応した海上民との確執の最中、この星は再度人類に過酷な試練を与える。黙示録的海洋SF巨篇!

ホットプルームの活性化による海底隆起で、多くの陸地が水没した25世紀。未曾有の危機と混乱を乗り越えた人類は、再び繁栄を謳歌していた。陸上民は残された土地と海上都市で高度な情報社会を維持し、海上民は海洋域で〈魚舟〉と呼ばれる生物船を駆り生活する。

陸の国家連合と海上社会との確執が次第に深まる中、日本政府の外交官・青澄誠司は、アジア海域での政府と海上民との対立を解消すべく、海上民の女性長(オサ)・ツキソメと会談する。両者はお互いの立場を理解し合うが、政府官僚同士の諍いや各国家連合の思惑が、障壁となってふたりの前に立ち塞がる。

同じ頃、IERA〈国際環境研究連合〉はこの星が再度人類に与える過酷な試練の予兆を掴み、極秘計画を発案した――。

最新の地球惑星科学をベースに、地球と人類の運命を真正面から描く、黙示録的海洋SF巨篇。

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。
