About this listen

The "Definitive Edition" of Matt James' action-packed, international bestselling novel Dark Island features expansive rewrites, revised edits, a reformatted interior, stunning new cover art, and a foreword by USA Today bestselling author Ernest Dempsey.

Like the "Dark Continent" of Africa, the island of Madagascar holds many chilling secrets.

A massive earthquake rocks the mountains within Madagascar’s Andringitra National Park, exposing a network of hidden tunnels, and releasing a pack of hypersensitive predators.

Unfortunately, they aren't alone when they reach the surface...

Ian Hunt lost his wife to the creatures that fateful night. Seven years later, he's still haunted by the tragedy.

Found inside a local watering hole, Ian reluctantly accepts an offer to lead an exploratory team deep beneath the surface in search of the truth.

What he and the others discover is the find of a lifetime...if they survive long enough to tell anyone.

Extinction is alive and well at the heart of the “Dark Island.”

From Ernest Dempsey's foreword:

"From the beginning, you feel excitement, terror, grief, wonder. Matt pulls your emotional strings. He makes you feel the environment around the characters. You can smell the air, and feel the darkness.

His word choices create powerful, punchy sentences and paragraphs that imbed you in the story without making you drowsy.

The action sequences are hard, and highly intense. It’s truly difficult to put down.

Dark Island is, put simply, a fun, and exciting story
."
