About this listen

 Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beast.

When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.

Critic Reviews

The netherworld of New York City...proves as shuddery a setting for the authors' latest scientific monster mash as the American Museum of Natural History did for their bestselling Relic, to which this is the sequel. ( Publishers Weekly)
"This should do for the New York subway system what Jaws did for Long Island beaches." ( Booklist)
"Dick Hill's reading of this fascinating sequel to Relic builds the suspense and horror." ( AudioFile)

If you’re looking for a pulpy break from reality and you enjoy a good potboiler, this is a fantastic choice (after you’ve read Relic, of course). This book has a ridiculous but engaging storyline that reads like cross between a whodunnit detective story and an episode of Scooby Doo. With enough continuity between the first and second books, this one builds on the first novel but doesn’t recycle the original story. Good work by the authors. Great performance by the narrator.

Ridiculous. Fabulous.

More of the monster but with yet another clever twist. I note many preferred relic and indeed you should read it first. But I found this to be just as worthy. Unlikely sequels it manages to explore plenty of new (under) ground.

Decent sequel to relic
