Sena Voss is a licensed foreshore sounder, and for fifteen years she has been doing the impossible thing slowly: drawing the Foreshore Chart, the first complete map of the Atlantic shelf the sea is abandoning - her late father?s unfinished work. Every square is sounded. Every line is drawn. All that remains is the last one: a blank square at the edge of the continental shelf, at the Break, where the water is still leaving.
The truth the world now has to live with is this: the sea isn?t leaving. It is being drunk - by the Siphon, a continent-scale organism anchored in the deep crust, flowering in its eleven-thousand-year bloom. The tribute works: feed it, and it drinks slower, locally, for a while. After the referendum, after the failed attempt to kill a field taught the world that fighting it only feeds it, the foreshore faces the question nobody wanted answered: what do we keep putting down there - and who decides?
Sena walks the last square. Sloane Vestra, the woman who industrialized the tribute, comes to the end of her arithmetic. And Tommie - the strand-rat who charted the Strand from memory and became the crew?s heart, now seventeen - must make the choice that will decide what kind of sounder he becomes.
The chart finished, already obsolete. The new chart begun. Because the sea went on leaving, and the chart went on being drawn - and that was the whole story. That was enough.
