An electrifying thriller
An astonishing story
Flat-out incredible. Buckle up. This is heart-pounding storytelling at its finest. I dare you to try and put this amazing book down. It's Crichton-smart, Patterson-paced, incredibly cinematic and it just feels like a giant summer movie. Two of the bestselling storytellers of all time have come together to deliver a hugely entertaining techno-thriller adventure story (T.J. Newman)
Eruption features Michael Crichton's stunning knowledge of science, scientific speculation and edge-of-your-seat storytelling and Patterson's remarkable gifts for suspense and relentless pacing. The once-in-a-lifetime combination of Michael Crichton and James Patterson results is one of the most entertaining novels I've read in years. You will be absolutely riveted as you turn every page (Adrian McKinty)

I couldn't keep listening, the narrator stumbled through the whole thing, slurring and his diction was terrible, stalling in syllables and pronounination of words was way off. I'm sure he was drunk. It totally ruined the story. What a waste of my credit this month.

The story was interesting and nicely paced with some humour as well as drama to round it out. Believable and a scarier concept because of that.

Modern catastrophe

I should have read the other reviews before I bought this on Audible. While the story line is fine it is impossible to listen to the narration. I don't like to leave bad reviews and this so far is the only time I have. How this audio book is even for sale is beyond me. The narrater pauses, stumbles , changes the way he talks in the same sentence and at periods I thought it was AI talking. Very disappointing.

Storyline fine. Narration terrible.

Great story
