Deep below the surface, our world is cold, dark and content.
Buoyed by humor and tinged with the unshakeable melancholy of loss is the existential question that forever ties the novel to our human experience: what is our purpose?.
A broad metaphysical story of fantastical world-building from accomplished journalist and nature writer James Sturz, Underjungle is a lyrical tale of love and war, encompassing the marine environment, science, art, philosophy and grief--as deep and surprising as life on the seafloor, where much of this story is set.
Underjungle asks readers to give themselves up to another world: to step outside not just of themselves, but of their species.
As news travels across the ocean, and the other tribes converge to investigate, the consequences and questions raised will reverberate for generations to come.
Now, one tribe, the Gjala, has stumbled across a most intriguing and unusual object: a sunken corpse.
Long ago, this species fractured from a single group into seven distinct tribes, each with their own dialect and cultural idiosyncrasies.
In Underjungle , an intelligent life form known as the yc exist in the ocean\'s depths, an apex predator among most fish.
The hundred shades of blue last the longest, but eventually there is only black--and the candied ooze of the ocean floor...
Red disappears first as you descend, followed by the yellow of the sun.
Colors are fickle.
Deep below the surface, our world is cold, dark and content
