About this listen

When a plane crashes into the Antarctic ice, exposing a massive cave beneath, a rescue and research team is dispatched. Twenty-four hours later, all contact is lost. Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained squad of commandos are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong - and to follow up the detection of a vast underground reservoir. Accompanying the team is an assortment of researchers, including petrobiologist Aimee Weir. If the unidentified substance proves to be an energy source, every country in the world will want to know about it - some would even kill for it. Once inserted into the cave system, they don't find any survivors - not even a trace of their bodies. Primeval hieroglyphs hint at an ancient civilisation, and an ancient danger. Spectres of the dead haunt the tunnels. Within hours, one of the party will die. To bring his team out alive, Alex will need every one of his mysterious abilities beneath the dark ice.

Fantastic escapism

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me gripped from start to end. Well written and well read.

Very enjoy

Creative setting, albeit with some plot holes, let down by hard to believe lead character and cheesy relationship with the love interest.

Flat narration.

Won't be buying any more of Mr Beck's work.

Fantastic, and yet rather predictable

the writing style was pretty basic. the character building only centered on a very limited cast and could have gone deeper and into others, the narration was basic without any attempted voice alteration for different characters so I found it pretty one dimensional. but, it was still a good yarn and I got to the end so couldn't of been that bad!

worth a read, but not a favourate

I really don't like to write negative reviews, I held off getting this due to other reviews, but eventually thought I would give it a go.
I have no problem with the far fetched plot, I like a bit of trash as much as the next guy, BUT the main character, the super soldier... I didn't realise he really was a SUPER soldier!

SPOILER alert... in that he had been shot, bit of shrapnel lodged in his head has now literally given him super human powers. Increased strength so he regularly hurls around people twice his size with one arm! Can hear a mouse fart a mile away and intuits enemies coming from miles away, through some sixth sense. Oh and of course he's dashingly handsome, ripped and pipped... in his fifties.

SORRY but that was simply too much for me. A bunch of people trapped, against all the odds, fair enough. But if this guy has all these powers it hardly counts does it?

Anyway, sad to say, I couldn't even finish it.

Narrator - top notch, great job.
If your'e into Marvel and the X-men etc, this would appeal.

IF you're looking for equally outlandish plots, isolated locations, cat and mouse games of people being knocked off one by one, possible supernatural elements, some far fetched creatures etc. Try Lincoln Child - Terminal Freeze. OR some of Michael McBride.

OH DEAR....

I really enjoyed this story. Lots of action and violence. I always enjoy books with scientific information. So interesting!

Great read

Liked the creatures descriptions and atmosphere. Story definitely got better as it went on. Was a bit suspicious of the super soldiers and threat of it descending into a farce but it actually never really impacted anything. Worth a listen

Good story when it got going

a decent story just felt a little generic but entertaining all the same . nothing really wrong just nothing much new.

ok
