Then ships began sinking mysteriously and later 'sea tanks' emerged from the deeps to claim people . . .

Helpless, they watch as humanity struggles to survive now that water - one of the compounds upon which life depends - is turned against them. Finally, sea levels begin their inexorable rise . . .
