Reseñas de la Crítica

"The plot involves Austin and his partner, Joe Zavala, who are investigating a feud between a radical environmentalist group and a Danish cruiser. Austin and Zavala must come to the rescue of men trapped on the ship. They find that a giant multinational corporation is seeking to kill anyone who attempts to stop its efforts to control the seas. There's lots of action, as always; Austin dodges a hand-grenade attack by plunging into frigid water and is saved at the last minute, he fights off attackers with a trash-can lid, and - on a number of occasions - the two 'face certain death'. 'Imagine what it feels like to be torn apart by razor-sharp teeth and scattered over the ocean', one of the bad guys tells them. So it goes, more than 400 pages of action and high jinks that Cussler's fans will relish." ( Booklist)
"A centuries-old treasure from the sea and a shadowy multinational corporation comprise this action adventure, skillfully read by James Naughton. He fluidly handles Eskimo dialects, various other accents, human sacrifice, and heated battle scenes with ease. His portrayal of Dr. Barker, an ego-driven fanatic, skillfully reveals the man's madness. In imperious tones, Naughton paints an unpleasant, yet captivating, picture of the chaos and murder Barker practices. Opposing him, the dashing leader of the NUMA special assignments team, Austin, is woven into the story with such bravado that the listener almost cheers. This story is well suited to listening because of its strong characterizations and sound effects." ( AudioFile)

Interesting topic on bioengineered fish

Bioengineered fish has become a problem in the US as of when this book was written. Don’t eat it & don’t increase the demand of farm fish.

entertaining story

I previously had read the book and enjoyed listening to it on a ling ride with the family.

Very sorry we have lost Clive Cussler. So glad he trained up others to carry on.

Not my favorite story line…

The story line was not one of my favorite ones by Clive Cussler. This one was too detached and not as exciting as his others,

Death

Great book, but then all Clove Cussler books are. Hope you do many more audiobooks. I can hardly wait for the next one.

Action

It was very fast moving. Lots of action. And of course, a little love to keep it interesting.

Abridged and will be better un abridged

The story is typical fun Cussler but it feels like major parts are missing in this abridged version. I went and bought the hardcover and I was right the abridgment is not the best and not up to the standards of other abridgments I have heard in the past (blue gold) here on Audible. Fair listen.
