"When a whale dies, its massive body silently sinks down ... For the whale, it's the end of a long life. But for a little-known community of deep-sea dwellers--from hungry hagfish to sleeper sharks and zombie worms--it's a new beginning... Journey to the bottom of the ocean and witness how a whale's body can provide shelter and sustenance for hundreds of species and millions of creatures over a fifty-year period"--Dust jacket flap.
