Novels set in deep seas

Look for Orson Scott Card's novelization of James Cameron's movie The Abyss. Written with Cameron's input and oversight, its actually a richer story than the movie - while remaining exceptionally faithful to the parent work. It came out in '91, my copy is Pocket Books, ISBN: 0671740776, dunno if its still in print. Check with a major bookseller in your area. If its out of print, you should be able to find a copy for sale somewhere out there on the web.

One that i've recently read which I enjoyed involves the sea, though the majority of the book takes place on the surface of the ocean.

The book is called "The Scar" by China Mieville. Rather good reading.

The Scar

While I'm there aren't sea monsters in it, I really like SeaWolf by Jack London.

Wolf Larson is too a monster. :wink:

Isnt there a book,something like 20,000 leagues under the sea?

True, very true!

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

Where's the deep sea in that?

(I'm joking)

i was gonna say the 20 000 leagues one

there's "Serpents" (i think it's called that...)

Not long ago I read a wonderful sea adventure/sci-fi/horror novel called Hunters of the Dark Sea, by Mel Odom. It's set in the 1800's, and mixes whalers, pirates, and scientists. I highly recommend it.

Don't know if you're still looking (seven years down the road :\) but "Meg" by Steve Alten is a great novel, and series, for water demons. Also, "The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft has Cthulhu who is a water monster.
