Lab creates its own monsters, foreshadows book 2

Ledger and team are sent to a laboratory that are trying to genetically engineer humans to be more resilient against a less habitable future. Fun story.

Loved this short

Felt like I were there. These, guys are some bad assets. Like me just kiddinb

An enjoyable excursion

This little change of pace is so fun to read, and so scary because it portrays an attitude that I know actually does exist in our country’s leaders and upper staff.
Since the first days of our Country’s existence, the military personnel have been used to find out the limits of Man’s endurance, and the capabilities of our technology and equipment.
I, myself, was used in a couple of small “experiments.” Fortunately, the effects on my body were limited to degradation of my sight and hearing, ; I’ve always been grateful that my losses were not complete.
Looking back, I do see the same attitudes reflected in this short story. I left the Marine Corps after nine years, without ever any official confirmation of the experiments, any thanks, or compensation.
I still celebrate my love for Corps and Country, I have never spoken with anyone about the experiments, or the effects on me. In my heart, I always remember that any organization, no matter how good, that is run by People, can and will, at some point, be led by someone who has these same ideas of ‘no limits’ on the the “ownership” of it’s personnel.
I pray, but I still know.

Engaging!

If you could sum up Deep, Dark in three words, what would they be?

Engaging, fast-paced, fantastical.

If you’ve listened to books by Jonathan Maberry before, how does this one compare?

I'm not a science fiction fan, but Mr. Maberry hooked me in on this story.

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed the suspenseful set-up - you don't know what they're going to find when they are descending an elevator deep into the earth - but you know it's terrifying.

fantastic store

had a very interesting storyline, and the reader was fantastic I highly recommend keep up the great work

much to short

interesting listen but much to short. love the characters and I hope to see the bugs again.

Good King Novel…

…so nothing new and RY Porter is phenomenal! The man could read the phone book (dating myself here) and make it interesting! Thank you Mr. Porter

Deep, Dark Gets Better Everytime I read it

Government Lies that change the lives of unknowing citizens with the idea they are helping all citizens are the worst lies.

This is here

Dislike what is happening to our world. But I know it is happening and there is not a thing I can do. That is what makes me so sad. A story like this shows there are still good people in the world that can act on it for us. Will look for other story’s by this author to make me feel better

Great Freak show

I haven’t listened to the 1st book but this being the prequel has snagged the hook.
