Zero Hour

A Novel from the NUMA Files, Book 11

By: Clive Cussler, Graham Brown

Narrated by: Scott Brick

Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's summary

The dazzling new novel in the #1 New York Times best-selling series from the grand master of adventure.

It is called zero point energy, and it really exists - a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however - until one scientist discovers a way.

Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them, and soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors and unchecked volcanism.

Now, that can't be good.

Another good Kurt Austin Adventure!

I enjoy these books. Great adventures, good humor. Seem to LOL a few times each book. The twist with the villain surprised me in this one but it made sense. Love the interaction with Kurt and Joe like always. Stakes are always so high, they must be exhausted all the time!

Scott Brick always does a great job as narrator.

great story

loved the story. great to listen to while traveling. listened while driving back & forth from the hospital

excellent read

Cussler has done it again. Keeps your interest until the end. Looking forward to the next book.

Zero Hour - Best Kurt Austin Book Ever

What was one of the most memorable moments of Zero Hour?

Bringing Tesla into the story. So few people know what a genius he was and how he got screwed over by Edison.

Joe Zavala

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

Yes, Absoloutely

Any additional comments?

Clive Cussler is my favorite autor ever since I read Raise the Titanic. He started to get repetitive and predictable. His style came back with the Bell Series. They are wonderful and now he has brought Kurt Austin back into the fold.

classic clive

random act our hero happens to be near. he gets tangled up with rich bad guy. there just happens to be a pretty lady there too.

Another great Cussler novel

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely. Cussler still delivers a good story. Even though you know the good guys come out ahead, you still want to find out how and it keeps you interested.

I read on a review somewhere else in which the reviewer mentioned "Did you find yourself sitting in the car or walking another lap trying to finish a chapter?" To me that is is a great measure of how good a book is. And for me, the answer was a resounding yes. Several times!

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Scott did an awesome job. Love the Russian accents :)

Any additional comments?

Yes, it does go way over the edge of believability as far as science. Some things are just not physically possible...but, you kind of come to expect that with some Cussler novels. If you are the type that wants complete accuracy, it might annoy you. If you just want a great FICTION story, the impossibilities are easy enough to overlook. Don't let it keep you away.

Typical Cussler

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Good book, but it is so projected as most of Cussler's are you know what the end will be.

Man so entertaing!

Where does Zero Hour rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right up in there.

What did you like best about this story?

Non stop action also you really care for the characters.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emontion.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No just wanted to keep on listening.
