Publisher’s Blurb – Jacket Flap
First published in 1957, and long since out of print, The Deep Range is one of Arthur Clarke’s finest novels. When it was published in America the New York Herald Tribune wrote: "Combining his first-hand researches and his poetic imagination, Clarke makes the undersea world a thing of beauty, terror and wonder; and his scientific extrapolation is vividly convincing."

It is a story of the 21st century and of a former space-ship engineer who had developed such a fear of outer space that he was forced to remake his shattered life on earth. With the help of psychiatry he is made a warden of the oceans’ depths.

Taut with excitement, this is a thrilling novel of tomorrow when submarine patrols harvest the undersea wealth to feed the world.
