Do mermaids believe in humans?While working on a deep-sea diving assignment at the University of California, oceanography student Jay Bishop is dragged into a volcanic tube towards the earth’s core and certain death. But much to his surprise, Jay not only survives the fall, he finds himself taken prisoner by a community of mermaids and kept alive as a science experiment. Confused and disoriented, … science experiment. Confused and disoriented, Jay’s only hope to escape back to the surface is found in Paga, an elder of the community who believes Jay’s unexpected arrival marks the fulfillment of a terrifying prophecy.
With the community rising against them, Jay and Paga face dangerous choices — and their consequences — if Jay is ever to see home again. Will Jay make it back to the world on the surface? And even if he does, how can his life be the same ever again?
FROM THE BOOK:
“Are the others boring you to death, that you’re listening so intently to my remarks, darling?” Jay asked, teasing even though he welcomed her churlish chatter.
“People confuse boredom for stability, and stability for sanity,” she muttered.
Jay laughed. “Well, I’m sure some people would never assume we had a solid grip on sanity before we decided to become oceanographers. With several metric tons of water pressure surrounding us at these depths, I’m sure someone would be quick to question our mental facilities and their working order.”
“True enough, brother mine.” Noelani paused, and Jay knew she was likely rolling her pretty eyes. “And yours especially, since your sanity was barely there to begin with.”
FROM THE AUTHOR:
Enjoy this short story adventure tale set before Till Human Voices Wake Us, a science fantasy novel with an unlikable protagonist, sadistic mermaids, and the trip of a lifetime.

Across The Floors of Silent Seas by C S Jonson is another story I read while traveling. It looks like I was on a water reading binge. LOL How could I resist the cover and I have read some of her other work and loved it, so I felt this would be a good one too….and it was.
It’s hard to give a short story prequel four thumbs up, but C S Johnson has hooked me with this wonderful look into Paga, Jay’s world, and I want to see where they go next…and the crew?, oh yeah, I wantta know more.

Across the Floors of Silent Seas
by C.S. Johnson
Across the Floors of Silent Seas is an amazing story, the start to a new series. An intriguing premise; which hints at a conflict, and is filled with action, mystery, suspense and fantasy, a thrilling ride to the end. A quite thought-provoking story voiced from the observation of research lab subject and another intellectual species; which neither believe that the other exists.
I adored the chemistry between the characters, the easy repartee they shared. It will be interesting to see how the story develops between them. Wow, what a great prequel, entertaining and beautiful; which will grab the readers interest. I could not put down, read this in one sitting; even read it a second time. I am eager for the first book in this series.
I love Ms. Johnson’s writing skill; she thinks in many different realms and each of her stories are different, I cannot get enough of her writing. I encourage people to read this book. It is CERTAINLY a good and worthwhile read. Well-done, I love it! I was honored to receive copy from the author, and it is my pleasure to write an honest review of Ms. C. S. Johnson’s newest creation Across the Floors of Silent Seas. Giving both 5-stars.
A thought-provoking short story told from the perspective of research lab subject who is human and being analyzed by merpeople who do not believe in the existence of humans.
It was my pleasure to receive this free ebook from the author and give my honest review.
Across the Floors of Silent Seas: A Short Story (Till Human Voices Wake Us Book 1) by C. S. Johnson was a amazing story I could not put down. This is book number one in this amazing start of a series I could not put down. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about mermaides.
I was given a copy of this book and this is my honest review
I find this idea of mermaids that don’t believe humans interesting. I love Ms Johnson’s writing skills. She thinks in so many different realms & every story is different. I can’t get enough of her writing. I encourage you to read this book. I’m anxious to read the next book in this series.
Intriguing story. A human accidentally invades a place of merfolk. Like the stories of extraterrestrials coming to Earth, some of the merfolk treat him as a science experiment. But one extends hope. Worthwhile reading. I hope that you enjoy it also.
Borrowed via Kindle Unlimited on 22 March 2019. This is my honest review.
Not for the littlest ones, but this is a family-friendly, deep undersea adventure that can be read in several hours or stretched over several evenings.
