Resumen del Editor

When twelve-year-old Noah Sowder accidently slips down a sinkhole into an abandoned mine, he finds that he has fallen into more than an underground cavern. The limestone chamber has been converted into the secret stronghold of a political extremist group planning a brazen kidnapping--one that will bring together two prisoners from different worlds whose struggle to escape threatens both of their lives and changes them forever. Set in a Missouri cave along the Mississippi River, "The Cavern" echoes with the voices of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn as popular mystery writer Allen Kent weaves his own Twain-like tale of adventure, suspense, clashes of culture, and coming-of-age. "The Cavern" is a political suspense novel you will recommend to your teenage children, discuss with like-minded friends, and dissect with those with whom you thought you had nothing in common to talk about.

The best book I've read this year!

The Cavern, my nineth read from author Allen Kent. A 214-page/5-hour 52-minute virtual voice Noir Crime thriller, a Young Adult Action & Adventure book. “I received a free a free Audible virtual voice copy and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I own 30 of this author's works and look forward to reading more. The virtual voice did a good job, not as well with inflections as talented narrators but none-the-less- enjoyable, an upgrade over Kindle's Text-to-Speech feature. I can see where if it's more affordable it will make a significant dent in the audio book industry. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Okay

I listened to this book as I did others while doing dishes or just general things.
The AI narrator was better than I thought it would be.
It had different voice inflections for different characters.
My problem with the story is you have to give 100% concentration to the story of it's not worth listening to.
When the author told me it was starting Ch. 7) I was confused.
I knew two people liked to rabbit hunt, and someone has been kidnapped from her beauty salon.
That was literally all I remembered of the story.
I don't know if it was the story itself, or if it was the AI narrator that threw me off.
I don't think I've ever read or listened to a story that far in and not been able to tell you anything about what was happening.
