Краткое описание: Роман «Погружение», написанный известным военным и политическим обозревателем Дж. М. Ледгардом, буквально взорвал американскую прессу и признан лучшей книгой 2013 года сразу несколькими изданиями, включая The New York Times.
В темнице на побережье Африки Джеймса Мора держат в плену боевики джихада. Выдающий себя за эксперта по воде, он на самом деле сотрудник британской разведки. Все что его ожидает – это жажда, побои и, возможно, казнь. А за тысячи миль от Сомали в Гренландском море Даниэль Флайндерс готовится к погружению в батискафе на океанское дно. Она биоматематик и помешана на жизни, что множится в глубинах океана. Запертые сейчас в ограниченном пространстве, они переносятся в прошлогоднее Рождество, во французский отель на Атлантическом побережье, где они встретились и полюбили друг друга.
«Погружение» – это история о любви и размышление о смерти и о глубинах нашей планеты.
