I bought this because I was looking for some good, light fiction and I liked the cover of the paperback; it made me think of Hammer Films' THE LOST CONTINENT. SEA CHANGE started off reminding me of the movie THE FLESH EATERS; unfortunately, after a few introductionary deaths, you have to wade through over 400 pages of talk and speculation about "the slick". Amidst all the talk, there occasionally happens something that might be classified as "action", but don't expect the pace to pick up or the excitiemnt to mount; those moments are as dull as the endless conversations. All in all this is a reminder to pass any book whose singular cover endorsement is from Publishers Weekly.
