Maelstrom is a sequel to Starfish but it doesnât feel like it. The first eighty precent of Starfish focused on the âRiftersâ, the strange bioengineered crew of the deep sea station the Beebe. The tone and mood was strange and foreboding, the people who had been human became almost alien.
Maelstrom follows the story introduced in the last twenty percent of Starfish. In an attempt to eradicate a bacteria like life form the evolved on the deep sea vents, a giant nuclear explosion was set off destroying the Beebe and the rift itself and setting off a tsunami killing millions.
The microbe isnât destroyed however because Lenie Clarke, one of the Rifters, escapes before the blast. In addition, when the Beebe was built some of the microbe was brought to the surface and even before the desperate blast, governments were trying to contain it with drastic measures.
Maelstrom is more of a cyberpunk sort of novel, following the idea of a meme that is spreading. That meme is the one that originated in the first book with a smart gel that they had put in charge of minimizing damage when destroying the ridge. The meme being that the microbe needs to be saved and the rest of the biosphere sacrificed.
Interspersed with Lenieâs journey we jump into the âmindsâ of viruses that are spreading throughout the net. Those are interesting enough (for example Lenieâs name start being attached to many viruses simply because she is a hot camoditie datawise) but not enough to sustain and entire novel. I enjoyed Starfish but I found the sequel nearly unreadable.
