Resumo de The Swarm - Frank Schätzing

Can one-cells be intelligence? Consequently algae, seaweed, diatomea and flagellates?
There event surprising solicits in the oceans which disastrous impact will have for the world as a whole and for the human civilization in particular. Sea-animals large and small, especially microscopic small, behave themselves massively hostile and attack ships and people, forms suicide-commando?s as if they have been switched on by the terrorism-virus, they eat away the methan-hydrate fields, the underwaterstructure of continental flat and slope destabilise, causes tsunami?s by material- and landslides, disorganises the global long-function of cold/warmwater dynamics in the artic pole sea. In short, the world is not attacked of outside but of inside.

Deeply of inside. Certainly not aliens ... but organism wich are already from the beginning of the times here on earth. Poison and pollution of humanity have reached the bases on wich all life is built. And life, especially fundamental, is possible no intelligence to produce, carries and
develops as it substantial is too stupid on time recognise wich is threatened with death ... nevertheless? And what in this tale of itself does speak, is not stupid, rather icy intelligence ... and determined.

Dr. Sigur Johanson, one of the constants in this thriller, is a Norwegian biologist who the unknown intelligence has given the name: Yrr. He is one of a little who assesses Yrr in a right way, not because he exact knows who of what they are but he realize what they stand for: they want to stop the human expansive brutality. And it are one-cells, as collective, which everything head ? the seven riders of the Apocalyps ... at Las Palmas something is for example prepared that the world will shock. The two worms who dr. Johanson has been given for research, form the reason to alarming of certain scientific disciplines because ... all related evaluations and conclusions promise a little good. Reports of concerning the whole world confirm a doom-scenario. The sea stands kill human being on the point.

Under the leadership of America, wich has got the mandate in a closed meeting of the United Nations to this end, a lot of scientists, officers of army and civil servants of secret services come at each other in special for that arranged and in his whole reserved hotel in Canada.
Threehundred participants, of wich seventy-five scientists, all under the leadership of
general-commander of American Navy: Judith Li.

The strategy of action to wich is decided, is: searching contact.
Dr. Samantha Crowe, astrologer and Seti-scientist that her builds complete career on searching for extraterrestial intelligence, has the control of the project. One decides a mathematical send message under a very certain frequency (Scratch) to the seafloor.

One has moved of the Canadian hotel to the USS Independence LHD-8, two hectare of freedom and 97.000 tons of diplomacy, such as navy people call that, laying above the Greenland abyss, thirty-fivehundred of meters water beneath the keel. Equipped with everything what is in the field of technics but conceivable, Combat Information Center, nerve Center of all
perception-systems, Joint Intelligence Center for connections, a very special hollow deck with an extreme refined underwater attachment as a result of wich are possible trained dolphins to outside and within, and not to forget the Deepflights, a type super sophisticated underwaterplane ? of wich four are on board. The answer on Scratch is an exploring visit of a large herd of orca?s which act apparently as the eyes and ears of Yrr. The dolphins sent on exploration are in panic, deathly-frightened and want to come in.

The Americans have a secret agenda, not really a fifth column, but this way works it. And of course are gone wrong and take place not only a confrontation with Yrr but also with each other. The outcome is just as violent such as bizarre ... tthe Independence with already its power, know-how and human ingeniousnesss come lie on the floor of the sea.
The simple but ingenius plan to vote Yrr favourably and the world to save, is in the last resort implemented riding Karen Weaver, scientific-journalist and computerfreak.
She sees the Independence coming literally beyond on gone to his sepulchre ... as in a unreal dream. General-commander and consorts goes down under.
Karen are saved, as well as a couple of others ... and the world.
The icy intelligence was apparently nevertheless able a moral or ethical make assessment.
