What's this book about?

The Der Spiegel number #1 blockbuster bestseller about an intelligent life force that takes over the oceans and exacts revenge on mankind
For over eight months, one book has overtaken the Der Spiegel bestseller list, reaching #1 and setting off a frenzy in bookstores: The Swarm.
Whales begin sinking ships. Toxic eyeless crabs poison Long Islandโ€™s water supply. Around the world, countries are beginning to feel the effects of the oceanโ€™s revenge. In this riveting novel, full of twists, turns, and cliffhangers, a team of scientists discovers a strange, intelligent life force called the Yrr that takes form in marine animals in order to wreak havoc on man for his abuses. The Day After Tomorrow meets The Abyss in his gripping, scientifically realist, utterly imaginative thriller. The book has sold more than 250,000 copies in Germany, where it has been on the bestseller list without fail since its debut in February. After eight months, the book is still in the top 5, holding at #3 under Dan Brown. With the compellingly creepy and vivid skill of this author to evoke story, character, and place, Frank Schatzingโ€™s book are certain to find a home with fans of Michael Crichton.
