Forest Lakes, AZ – Randy L. Slapnicka, a deep sea diver and underwater welder, has announced the release of his new book, “Leave the Bottom: Cook Islands.” A page-turning debut novel, “Leave the Bottom” introduces us to the world of deep-sea mining and the effects it has on the people and marine life involved.
The exciting story follows the adventures of a marine biologist studying octopuses, who suddenly takes a job in the Cook Islands for a deep sea mining operation. Scouring the ocean floor for metallic nodules containing rare minerals for the electric vehicle industry, the operation soon pushes the young biologist to her limits when she is tasked with fixing issues caused by octopuses – the very species she is committed to protecting. In the fast-paced story, she must travel to a saturation chamber at 500 feet sea depth, find an end to the onslaught of octopuses being led by a billionaire tycoon, and overcome other daunting obstacles that stand in her way to making it out alive.
Throughout her adventures, “Leave the Book: Cook Island” explores themes of environmentalism and educates readers on octopus, deep sea diving, prison rehabilitation, and the poly-metallic nodules deep in our Pacific Ocean.
The fictional work was inspired by Slapnicka’s desire to educate people about deep sea mining and its impact on our world. Born on a rural North Dakota farm 15 miles from the Canadian border, Slapnicka left the town he knew at 19 to become a deep sea diver and underwater welder without ever having seen the ocean before. Over the years that followed, he developed a passion for travel, adventure, and many undersea wonders of our world that he shares with people every day.
