The Aquanauts<br />
John Lunn<br />
Fifteen-year-old Greta Kovachi travels with her brilliant father to<br />
a laboratory habitat in a submarine on the bottom of the Pacific<br />
Ocean. Her father has created the first man-made black hole to<br />
prove that all matter in the universe is made up of infinitesimal<br />
particles of time. Greta was looking forward to this adventure,<br />
but she gets more than she bargained for. What was supposed to<br />
be a trip of a few days turns into a nightmare when an accident<br />
with the black hole spins them billions of years into the future,<br />
trapping her dad along with the other scientists in a particle of<br />
time. Three other kids live on the habitat, and, calling themselves<br />
the Aquanauts, they band together with Greta to travel through<br />
layers of time in a frantic attempt to save their parents and<br />
themselves from being locked under the sea for eternity.<br />

JOHN LUNN grew up in Toronto, Ontario. The youngest son of<br />
children’s author Janet Lunn, after a silversmithing apprenticeship in<br />
his teens, he moved to Boston to pursue a career as a flutemaker. He has<br />
been writing since he was very young, and has written novels and<br />
screenplays in between making flutes, raising two children, flying<br />
airplanes, and working in local politics. He has a small animation studio<br />
and films stop-motion animation. John and his wife, Meredith, now<br />
live in New Hampshire with their four dogs. The Aquanauts is John’s<br />
second novel, for which he also designed the cover art. Visit his web site<br />

PRAISE FOR THE MARINER’S CURSE:<br />
“Youngsters have always been fascinated by the Titanic and will enjoy<br />
the connection here, along with the hair-raising chases and<br />
escapes…” –School Library Journal<br />
“...nicely crafted…. The adventure aspect of this novel is imaginative,<br />
but what really stands out is its psychological content…catnip for<br />
amateur psychiatrists, and fun reading generally.” –Quill & Quire<br />
