About this listen
Loch Ness holds secrets, ancient and deadly. Does a monster inhabit its depths, or is it just myth? Why, after thousands of reported sightings and dozens of expeditions, is there still no hard evidence?
Marine biologist Zachary Wallace knows, but the shock of his near-drowning as a child on Loch Ness have buried all memories of the incident. Now, a near-death experience suffered while on expedition in the Sargasso Sea has caused these long-forgotten memories to resurface. Haunted by vivid night terrors, stricken by a sudden fear of the water, Zach finds he can no longer function as a scientist.
Unable to cope, his career all but over, he stumbles down a path of self-destruction...until he receives contact from his estranged father, a man he has not seen since his parents divorced and he left Scotland as a boy.
Angus Wallace, a wily Highlander who never worked an honest day in his life, is on trial for murdering his business partner. Only Zachary can prove his innocence, if he is innocent, but to do so means confronting the nightmare that nearly killed him 17 years earlier.
Incorporating the latest research and "new evidence", that leads to real answers concerning the monster's identity, best-selling author Steve Alten weaves a tale of horror about the most publicized and controversial creature ever to exist.

Very enjoyable, well worth the listen.
I’d put off listening to this because I preferred the Meg series but wow? This was great. Hats off to the narrator. He really put in an effort and for the most part his accents were pretty good.

Ridiculous but fun!
I noticed this audiobook was free and was excited to relisten as I read the book about 15-20 years ago and remembered that I liked it, although I didn’t remember much else about it. To start with I thought it was ridiculous, but I’m glad I stuck with it. I don’t know anything about marine biology, so that side of the book actually seemed quite plausible from the way it was explained. What I do know about is living in the UK and the legal system here, and I can say with authority that side of the book was completely implausible and full of errors! For example we don’t have the death penalty and hadn’t for about 40 years before this book was written… plot holes based on not being able to afford medical treatment - but it’s completely free in this country, etc etc. The dialogue was also quite cheesy. However, the action is fun and the pace is great, it’s definitely worth a listen if you liked The Trench / Meg / Jaws / Jurassic Park etc

Believable storyline involving the Loch Ness Monster!!!
The narrator was excellent - doing Scottish, English, American, both male and female, all with skill. The storyline kept me gripped to the end. I am looking forward to a squel.

Don't be put off by the Scottish accents.
Once I'd got my head around the dodgy Scottish accents I really enjoyed the book.

Don’t go near the water
A nice mix of history and a gripping yarn. Really enjoyable if creature features are your thing.

Enjoyable adventure story
As long as you can get past the phone Scots accent, it’s an enjoyable wee story about nessy and the continuing adventure to find her.

This is another good Steve Alten monster book
Like the first Meg books this carries just enough (almost) credible science to back what is an enthralling story. The characters have depth and there is enough mystery to keep you hooked.
