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.

Ironman meets Jules Verne

I really enjoyed this story's suspense . The unknown hazards of the deep carried me through from one chapter to the next with the mix of history, archaeology, science, and relationships. The narrator definitely
kept me listening. This would make a great movie.

Non stop action

This book was so engaging I spent two days straight listening. Frightening premise. Let’s hope this never comes to pass.

Fiction but still thought provoking

What made the experience of listening to Beneath the Dark Ice the most enjoyable?

The constant suspense

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, you were always wondering when the sea creatures would show up.

What about Sean Mangan’s performance did you like?

He kept the story moving at a good pace

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no

Any additional comments?

The fact of giant sea creatures gives this book a degree of plausibility while some of the traits of the sea creatures kept it in the fiction realm.

You Can't Lose With Greig Beck!

I have read 5 or 6 books in this series and love them all. If you like military leaders, honor, bravery, and secrets of our world -- archeological or otherwise -- you will enjoy these books.

Greig Beck is the best!!

Just okay

There's nothing new here, but that's okay. I blew through it in one listen on x2 speed. That worked for me.
