THE PRESENCE
By John Saul Paperback Pages: 420 Copyright: 1997
Used – But In Great Condition


A suspenseful thriller from the prolific and craftsmanlike Saul that moves like a dream through its paradisiacal Hawaiian landscape. This time, victims' lungs suddenly become allergic to oxygen and can live only on fumes--those of ammonia, for example--that are normally poisonous. The action begins when Dr. Katharine Sundquist, an archaeologist specializing in early hominids in Africa, is hired for a three-month term to work on bones recently discovered near a vent in a volcano on Maui. Hiring her is a research lab owned by a superrich Japanese medical entrepreneur. Also on hand are a handsome fellow archaeologist who once courted the now widowed Katharine, and her son Michael, who's been overcoming asthma through physical training. When he and three Hawaiian friends go for a night dive, they come upon an underwater area contaminated by a geode from outer space. Back on land, they find that their lungs can't tolerate oxygen.
