The official companion volume to the 3-D giant-screen film from Titanic director James Cameron, Aliens of the Deep follows a team of scientists as they explore deep ocean vents, where super-heated water and chemicals spewing from the Earth's core give rise to some of the planet's strangest life forms: six-foot long tubeworms, football-sized clams with blood-red interiors, giant predators and real-life sea monsters. Journey from the bottom of the sea to the windblown deserts of Mars and the ice-covered oceans of Jupiter's moons in the quest to understand this astonishing ecosystem. Here is an extraordinary, first-ever view of life in Earth's most hostile and inaccessible environments, as well as the extreme machines that allow humans to explore them.
