Water

By: Riano D. Mcfarland

Narrated by: Tim Welch

Over 70 percent of Earth is covered in water, yet over 80 percent of that water remains unexplored. There are currently over 10 billion people on Earth, but terrestrial humans are only aware of those who live on land. The other three billion humans took a decidedly different evolutionary path, adapting to live in the largest combined area on the planet–the water.

These two highly-intelligent civilizations, while indistinguishable in their DNA, have adapted to the territories in which they live, and although they share a single planet, their worlds could not be more divergent. Kept apart by an oceanic demarcation line known as the Devine Gap, the oceanic difference in the depth to which a terrestrial human can dive, and that to which an aquatic human can ascend, the two civilizations have remained separated since their evolutionary births.

Following a chance encounter between Jacqueline, a terrestrial human and experienced dive master, and Argo, an aquatic human and scientific researcher, their desire to bridge the Devine Gap becomes an obsession for both of them. An obsession with potentially deadly consequences.

It has been said that the human spirit can overcome any obstacle, but can it overcome the water?

impossible love

two destined souls who will never be together. one lives on land and the other in the depths of the ocean. loved the story. the narration was a tiny bit aggressive at times but did not distract from the story

Original and fun love story

I have always believed that there was intelligent life in the ocean, note the increasing reports of USOs coming from the ocean recently. What a perfect original story of a love story of a human above and below the water. This author gives great credible information on how life in the depths of the oceans would support an alternative life of humanity.

WOW

Must say this is a really good book. The story line is definitely amazing. The narrator does a really good job. overall excellent book.

Great Novel,Made my Heart Sing

I loved the description of the under ocean world Aro lives in.
This is a beautiful story with the usual governmental getting in the way of things not their business. I would want to live in the ocean community described in thos book. The Narration is quite different, sort of like listening to a 50s radio broadcast. I personally like this affect.

What an adventure!

Riano takes us on an adventure where Jacqueline a terrestrial human and deep sea diver meets an aquatic human, Argo. They are both human in their DNA but neither can live in each other’s world. They fall in love but know they cannot be together. Jacqueline’s brother created a diving pod so at least they could see each other through a pane of glass in a portal in the pod. Their constant dives got the attention of the navy who catches a glimpse of Argo. In an attempt to capture him for research something terrible goes wrong. Will Jacqueline and Argo ever have a chance at a life together? You will have to take this adventure to find out!
