Bob Ballard ma do opowiedzenia dziesiątki historii z morskich głębin. Zasłynął odnalezieniem wraków, m.in. niemieckiego pancernika Bismarck, lotniskowca U.S.S. Yorktown i kutra PT-109, na którym w Wietnamie służył John F. Kennedy. Ballard dotarł także do szczątków statków handlowych, leżących od tysięcy lat na dnie mórz Śródziemnego i Czarnego. Zrewolucjonizował oceanografię za sprawą odkrycia na dnach oceanów kominów hydrotermalnych oraz nieznanych wcześniej form życia, które je zamieszkują. Jego najbardziej znanym odkryciem jest wrak luksusowego liniowca Titanic. W tej osobistej i szczerej książce Bob Ballard odsłania kulisy swoich najbardziej ekscytujących wypraw, zdradzając m.in. jak ściśle tajna misja dla Marynarki Wojennej USA umożliwiła mu odnalezienia Titanica. Opowiada również otwarcie o tragediach, które spotkały go w życiu osobistym: śmierci syna i rozpadzie pierwszego małżeństwa, a także o wyzwaniach, jakie stawiało przed nim godzenie medialnej sławy z pracą akademicką. Ballard wspomina także o niedawnym odkryciu swojej dysleksji, którą obecnie uważa za dar pozwalający mu zostać wybitnym naukowcem i odkrywcą. W głębinach jest niezwykłą, błyskotliwą i zaskakującą opowieścią o odwadze, wyzwaniach i triumfach, które ukształtowały życie tego niezwykłego człowieka.
