The antihero's hatred of man, particularly the man who had had a hand in genetically engineering his genes to produce a short chunky body as that of a pleb (the alternative and, to the reader's sensibilities, normal life span.) His father, the man who did this to him is of an ethereal ( tall, willowy, well shaped head with long limbs, hair, and much grace: a beautiful people) being, the immortals. They live many hundreds and in some cases thousands of yers. Subsequently, in their purview they see patterns over large spans of years with long playing intrigues in their outlook. Contrast this with the plebs' ordinary live span and their search for ordinary and immediate gratifications.
Our man Sam Harker was so cursed because his mother died while birthing him which incurred his father's undying hatred of him. Consequently, his corrupted morals compel him to repulse close associations and to seek ways to exploit the gullible (and the not so gullible.)
Unwittingly Sam becomes a catalyst whose actions spur the elaborate underwater cities of the immortals to rise to the treacherous surface above the water line where an impossibly fertile jungle hellishlly teems with wild and toxic life forms that lean toward voratiousness, both to itself and the hapless.
The theme is mitigated in this dense novel by subplots which unfolds to reach the final unfurling of the various karmas.Hence, lies the fruits of the antipathies which fuel the storyline.
The pacing is slow and steady, yet some may rejoice in its plodding trek in the march toward solution.
