The artifact is found seven miles below the surface of the sea and
beneath 40 more feet of sand. The Navy''s efforts to raise a wrecked
submarine uncover it--and set in motion a scientific race to retrieve
it, to discover just what it is and where it came from.
Denser than any substance known to man, it has broken every drill bit
they''ve tried on it and will not budge an inch. It resists every effort
to breach it--or communicate with it. So the government turns to marine
biologist Russell Sutton for help.
Meanwhile, unknown to any of them, two creatures have wandered the earth
for generations. The aliens have no knowledge of each other, but possess
a residual memory of the artifact--and an affinity for deep water. One,
which calls itself the changeling, has survived by adaptation, by taking
on many different forms: man, woman, snake, shark. The other, which
calls itself the chameleon, has survived solely by destroying anything
or anyone that threatens it.
Now, finally brought up from the bottom of the sea, the artifact calls
to them both...to come home. For all these generations there have been
two invincible creatures on Earth. But the chameleon has decided
there''s only room for one.
A novel of human and inhuman nature, Camouflage will take you to the
depths of the sea, to the limit of man''s imagination--and beyond.
