A series of bizarre occurrences suddenly plague the island of Cielo Nublado. A dead whale washes ashore riddled with enormous bite marks. A fishing charter is reported missing, jet skiers vanish, and a yacht is found mysteriously ravaged after some kind of enormous impact. Chief of Police Nico Medrano tries to investigate the matter. His search for answers puts him on a collision course with an 80-foot predator, long thought extinct. Violent and merciless, it has risen to the surface, and seeks to wreak havoc on the small island community.

Story
Dr. Hugh Meyer believed he had created the ultimate miracle. Using the DNA of ancient creatures preserved in the Arctic, he had genetically engineered one of the most remarkable species of sea creature to ever exist: the Serpent Eel. Believed to possess the cure for countless diseases, the creature holds great promise for the medical community. All goes awry when the beast escapes containment. With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it.

Story
Lorenzo was a quiet Michigan town, known for its beautiful lake and resorts. Summer has arrived and water activities are abundant. It was one of the reasons Officer Royce Dashnaw took the job in the small town. Being a single dad, he wanted to live a quiet life where his daughter could enjoy the beauty of nature. Unfortunately, nature also has a dark side. The serenity of Lorenzo has been disrupted by a series of strange events. A woman flees from the water with strange bites on her legs; bodies are found in the shallows, stripped to the bone; and the local fish have disappeared.

It was supposed to be a simple bank robbery. Quick. Clean. Efficient. It was none of those. With police searching for them across the state, a band of criminals hide out in a desolate cabin on the frozen shore of Lake Shadow. Isolated, shrouded in thick forest, and haunted by a mysterious history, they thought it was the perfect place to hide. Tensions mount as they hear strange noises outside. Slain animals are found in the snow. Before long, they realize something is watching them. Something hungry, violent, and not of this world.

Years ago, the SS Arcadia vanished without a trace during a routine voyage. Though a garbled emergency message was broadcast, neither the ship nor any of its crew could be found. Sixty years later, its wreck has finally been discovered more than 300 miles from its intended course...a silent graveyard deep beneath the ocean's surface. Cove and her dive team have been granted permission to explore the Arcadia's rusting hull. Their purpose is straightforward: examine the wreck, film everything, and, if possible, uncover how and why the supposedly unsinkable ship vanished.

On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Garbage, utter garbage.

Summary
A series of violent shark attacks off the shores of northern California draw the attention of pessimistic Detective Luke Jansen. Despite reports of shark sightings by witnesses, the injuries appear to be more reminiscent of a chainsaw-wielding maniac rather than shark bites.
Things get stranger when marine biologist Elise Sheldon encounters the creature. Exhausted and traumatized, she is quickly dismissed, after she makes the claim that the beast is a Helicoprion. Thought to be extinct, the creature wields a spiraling set of teeth that can dice anything caught in its path. Unable to convince anyone of its existence, Elise turns to Detective Jansen for assistance.
With little help from the police department, Luke and Elise form an unlikely alliance to uncover the truth. Their investigation puts them face-to-face with a violent man-eating shark, and the terrifying reason for its existence.

Very good but very long winded!
Very, very long winded story, winding through horror, thriller, sci-fi and drama. I enjoyed it but it was a marathon. I felt like I could’ve snipped 3 or 4 hours off the total time and still gotten the story across. Good character development, very decent narration. 4 stars because it was long enough to test the patience of a saint!

Clichéd nonsense
The only thing worse than the story was the narrator. I like sea based thrillers but this one was completely ridiculous with so many old tropes about detectives with seemingly supernatural abilities and his smart scientist female sidekick. I’m never going near this author again.

Great book, poor narration
A great book let down by mediocre narration and an inability to do a British accent. For a character who's meant to be from South London, they sounded more Australian and the rest of the accents aren't much better.
Don't let that put you off, it's another superb book by Mr Cole.

l liked this, narration was good (apart from the attempt at an English accent). Sloppy science though, the author should know basic stuff like antibiotics are no good against a virus and that viruses do not lurk in DNA. Other than that, it's an enjoyable bit of escapism

What I expected: Kinda cheesy sci-fi horror gratuitous bloody maiming and killing.
What I got: Some of that, but an actual plausible story too!!
I was kinda sad there wasn't a tad more shark action, but it was actually a good balance that honestly added to the storyline.

A cop story that just happens to have a shark.
I really wanted to like this book. It reads like a cop/detective story that just happens to have a prehistoric shark in it.
I could not stay interested and only got half way through before deleting it from my library. If you are looking for a shark thriller novel skip this one. Try Mr. Cole's other books Scar or Thresher instead.

This book was fantastic. The main character was well written, moody cop with a haunting past, it was kinda nice that the choice of shark wasn’t the usual Great White or Megaladon, and following a cop going after it instead of a scientist like a lot of these types of stories honestly just made more sense. The plague was a really nice what if touch as well. 2 days of listening very well spent.

Has it all shark, plague, action, standard sulky cop with a dark past who has witness/partner romance, not over done though. Cliches are not overdone here. plenty of intrigue and what ifs to think about. At 16hrs it took 2 days to get through witch was great for work. my only short with the book is its hard to immerse yourself into at first but that will quickly change.

Seriously who gave this book more than two stars and why? It's horribly written, with so much irritating dialogue, I feel like I'm listening to teenagers, not alleged professionals. I tried to get through this and just couldn't. Too many sub plots and unlovable characters. One saving grace is that if this book got published, so can mine.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of action set pieces and gore galore. I really connected with the two main characters by the end. Luke was assholishly awesome. The story though, was some straight Bond villain type stuff. A little cheesy, but it worked in the end.
