弗兰克·施茨廷（Frank Schätzing），1957年出生，在科隆过着多彩多姿的生活：广告公司的创意总监、作曲家、音乐制作人，同时也是热情的业余厨师和受过训练的潜水员。 1995年，施茨廷的首部小说《科隆911》即让他成为畅销书作家；2000年的政治惊悚小说《悄无 声息》则被媒体誉为“对这即将结束的世纪，所捕捉到的精彩瞬间”；2004年，《群》大放异彩，让施茨廷与迈克尔·克莱顿、丹·布朗等国际作家平起平坐，也让德国人首度学会了“海啸”这个词。无巧不成书，《群》出版后九个月，震惊世界的东南亚海啸发生，世人纷纷追问他如何能“预测”此事。《群》大获成功后，施茨廷利用写作时没用上的剩余五分之四资料，写出了《海：另一个未知的宇宙》，同样大卖。 《群》始于施茨廷数年前的梦境；而《群》的男主角西古尔·约翰逊，黄金单身汉、魅力中年型男、都会雅痞、无可救药的品味...(展开全部)

And the deep sea, which has been immersed in total darkness...(展开全部)
