Hardbound Edition First Edition January, 1998, Published by TOR, 301 pages.

SpiderLegs tells us for thousands of years, mankind has simultaneously trusted in the sea's provibial generosity, and used it as a dumping ground, trusting that in its vastness his garbage will be swallowed up and forgotten. But that was never really true, and now, in an age when the overcrowded Earth swarms with hungry inhabitants whose waste chokes with even the sea, whose greedy demands overtax its seemingly endless bounty, strange things are born in the ocean's deeps-strange things that the ocean throws back upon the land.

Twin Peaks meets Jaws.
"Return with us now to the Sci-Fi days of yesteryear; with monsters from the deep, vacationing professors from prestigious institutions, damsels in distress, and science gone mad in an orgy of bloodshed terrorizing a Newfoundland fishing village! ...You'll definitely get a kick out of this." - SFRevu

The publisher calls this book "the ultimate crustacean encounter," and that it is! In collaboration with Piers Anthony, one of the most popular fantasy writers in America, acclaimed nonfiction author Clifford A. Pickover, brings readers a disturbing tale of our own world, and the strange creatures with whom we share it.

"...Provocative scientific speculation and detail." - Publisher's Weekly

"Shades of Peter Benchley! Spectacular..." - BookPage Fiction Review

"Pickover has collaborated on a novel with the prolific Piers Anthony, and the combination of Pickover's theory and Anthony's fantasy should yield an intellectual tour de force without precedent." - West Coast Review of Books
