On an alien world, where the equator is so hot it's the scorch belt that divides the planet into two separate ecological zones. Here is where the ocean boils -- and here is where a daring exploration team attempts an ocean crossing to discover how the local life forms migrate from the northern hemisphere to the southern and back again. An old-fashioned science fiction adventure from a master storyteller. David Gerrold is the award winning author of "The Martian Child," "Night Train to Paris," and "The Trouble With Tribbles" episode of Star Trek, The Original Series.
Sometimes stories appear in your life when you need them...Monstrous was one of those. A great fun David Gerrold read...with a strong point,well placed and thought out science and leaves you wanting to know more of the characters and their world. I have been a David Gerrold fan from his first books and stories to now...buy it and read doubling be disappointed
