Publisher's Summary

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.

A great book but something odd with the narration

The story was great, very gripping and combined many of my favourite mythological references however the narrator's voice adjusts about 3/4 of the way through and it is a bit off putting but you do get use to it if you speed that section up to 1.05x

Adventure + Intro to Horror

I love me some Matthew Reilly and have only recently ventured into horror. I think this is a great blend of both.

Sure the science and military terms might not be accurate but so what, it’s not like anyone is going to use the details in here for factual research 🤷🏻‍♀️ If bending the facts in a creative manner helps in advancing the storyline then so be it.

The one thing I have to say though is that Greig definitely repeats some phrases. For example, the monster knocking over boulders like a child knocking over wooden blocks. Not a huge issue but pretty funny when you’re doing a marathon listen haha.

Looking forward to the next one!

Kept me invested from beginning to end!

Sean Mangan is a wonderful Narrator! and Greig Beck delivers an amazing story with some really likable characters. The creatures weren't what I imagined.. they were far better.

Looking forward to the rest of the Alex Hunter series.

solid

good author, his primordia series braught me here and I wasnt disappointed, although he could use some better advisors on the military tech and jargon "m60 machine cannon?" I've heard the old gpm pigs called a lot of things that's a first for me but that's literally the only fault I can pick.

Left wanting to know more...

Narrator was great!
Storyline was really interesting....but I wanted more in the way of archaeological info/background. Felt it was too short.
