Fathomless

De: Greig Beck

Narrado por: Sean Mangan

In Fathomless, the greatest predator the world has ever known is coming home in 2016.

Carcharodon megalodon. The largest and most fearsome predator to have ever existed on our planet. Rumours of its existence in our modern oceans have persisted for centuries. Now, in a new adventure, the rumours explode into brutal and terrifying reality in Fathomless, by Greig Beck.

Baranof Island, Gulf of Alaska, 1952. Jim Granger is searching for a place of legend. Known as Bad Water by the island's elders, it's reputed to be home to many dangerous creatures. Through a seam in a cliff face, Jim finds what he seeks. He also finds, too late, that the water demon he was warned about is horrifyingly real.

Today Cate Granger is following in her grandfather's footsteps. Along with a team of scientists and crew, she accidentally releases a creature from Earth's primordial past into today's oceans. The giant megalodon shark follows its instinct and a genetic memory of a home that existed millions of years ago along the Californian coast.

Nothing is safe on or below the water as the monster stakes its claim on the world's oceans. Now Cate and her team must do battle with a creature that has no rival, knows no fear, and regards humans as nothing more than prey.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mr Beck is a master at building up suspense." ( Good Reading)

the narrator drove me nuts

Loved the story, but the narrator needs to look up word pronunciations before doing a job. It's mega la daan or mega la don, not mega low den. ugh!!!

Good imagination

Good book. But narrator needs to learn the pronunciation of quite a few words especially the word megalodon! Nice voice.

Great concept

The narrator left something to be desired. There was not a lot of variance in his voices (apart from accents) and there was very little change in his pace.

As seems to be trending with books of this sort, it starts with an interesting prologue that turns into 10 hours of getting to the point.

Unfortunately, in this one I can't help wondering what the point of the first half of the book was.

This is one of those books that things seem really interesting and I'm wondering just where in the hell the story is going to go... and then something happens that changes everything. Except, it has nothing to do with the story so far and would have happened even if the first half of the book hadn't happened.

So why bother with the first half?

Yes, I finished the book. And no, it didn't really improve.

Do yourself a favor and read Steve Alten's Meg instead.

good book but...

this is a really good book it has great suspense the story develops the characters pretty well it's a good listen. The only thing that I would definitely change and really didn't like at all what is the narrator's terrible pronunciation of megalodon. I cannot believe this man does not know how to pronounce this word. it does lesson in the story a little bit to hear him mispronounce the shark's name.

Exciting Story

I would have rated this title 5 stars if only the narrator would have properly spoken “megalodon”. I recommend you read the second novel in this series “The Abyss”.

Excellent book!!!

Loved it! Love Sean Mangan! Great book. If I had to absolutely criticize something, I feel like the two parts of the book didn’t meld together well. I felt like I was listening to a different book at that point. Not saying I didn’t enjoy it immensely. Can’t wait to start book 2 tomorrow. Thank you Greg Beck.

Big shark novel

I wasnt sure about this book. I like Steve Aliens Meg series, but he keeps writing the same type of characters as well as mostly useless female characters who are always ready for sex. This book had none of that. Chuck full of interesting and fully developed characters. Its a far better novel than the first and last Meg book. I very much enjoyed this monster book. It hit all the marks I like.

takes a long time to get started

just as I said takes along time to get started, after that it gets a bit better

Great story

Love all of Greig Beck's books, and wasn't disappointed with this one. Great storyline, engaging characters. However, although I enjoy Sean Mangan as narrator, his continual mispronounciation of Megalodon started driving me nuts - the story is about a giant MEGALODON, after all!! It's not a Mehg'-uh-loh'-dun. Over and over. And skeletal, and debris... Still well worth your credit and time though!

Loved the book! But..::

So I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, however the way he pronounces megalodon is horrific.
