Publisher's summary

The surface is frozen. The depths filled with monsters. Can anything survive?

Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface. Frozen structures of bygone eras span across massive ice-wastes. And the survivors closely guard any technology rediscovered within them.

The only escape from the deadly climate is beneath the surface, but that doesn't mean it's safe...

Monstrous machines lurk in the depths. Unhinged demigods war against them, dying over and over, treating it all like a game. The depths themselves shift over time, more contraption than rock.

When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father get trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two will need to set their differences aside while they struggle against Gods, legends, and the secrets of the realm that lies below.

Don't miss the start of this Progression Fantasy Epic set around a pseudo-medieval society clinging to existence on frozen post-apocalyptic Earth. Impossible odds, weak-to-strong progression, epic battles, scavenged tech, prophecy, magic, and mystery—12 Miles Below has something for everyone. Grab your copy today!

What a fun world

Was not expecting the "depth" this story had and was pleasantly surprised. Does a great job with painting vivid images of the fights. and the Narrator is fantastic.

Good fun, but not really progression yet.

The book is really a lot of the fun, and the world building is fascinating and engaging. It's one of the best thought out progression worlds I've seen in a long time. There isn't a lot of progression për së in this book, but you can see how it will happen in the future. It's clearly a first book from a new author, and there are quirks and a certain lack editing that detracts a bit. Overall though I had a lot of fun and in a subgenre filled with mediocrity and bad book, this is a real gem.

Compelling

I was hesitant to get this, but I'm glad I did. Solid character writing. The main characters are archetypes, but used well and altered to make them more real, with real flaws and real growth. I enjoyed the power system introduced and the approach taken to the world is very intriguing. Excellent start to what I'm hoping will be an epic adventure. Looking forward to more entries.

Wow! Amazing Book!

This book is definitely a hidden gem that deserves way more attention and praise than it's currently getting. I hope people discover this book and that there are many more in the series to come!

Amazing world building, slow start.

12 Miles Below has some amazing worldbuilding and ideas. The only thing I really knock it for is a slower start and a slow burn to the "progression" part of the book.

hidden gem

if you are hesitating on whether to spend your credit on this book, my advice is to get it.

the plot is good with good character and world building.
the book will feel like alot has happened but it feels like there is so much more to tell. The narrator did a splendid job as well to bring all the different characters to live. one of the better ones I've heard.

in short, this book feels like a 14hr prolouge to a long and great story. and after listening to it, it left me wanting more.
