A mysterious signal is detected originating from the ocean's depths, and in less than a month, the world has drowned. Unknown monsters appear from the deep, their origins hinting at ancient secrets humanity never thought to suspect.

And will our species survive long enough to make it there? From New York Times bestselling storytellers Scott Snyder (Batman: Death of the Family, American Vampire) and Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus, Joe the Barbarian) comes The Wake, an epic science fiction saga of survival spanning billions of years...and plumbing the depths of horror.
