Immediately following the events of Tentacles, this sequel centers on Marty and his friends' attempt to rescue Grace from the clutches of the malevolent Dr. Blackwood. Similar to the prior novel, the titular creature provides a backdrop for the story but plays only a brief role. Elements of action, science fiction, and adventure keep the plot moving, occasionally in absurd directions.
