To most people, the definition above is just a word expressing similar definitions and nothing more. But when a bizarre sequence of events draws not only the United States but every world superpower on the globe into the threat of World War III, the word takes on a whole new meaning. The president is missing.... And all the world can do at this point is watch as the horror and mystery slowly begin to unravel, revealing the Unfathomable.

This was such a fun listen.

It is as if this author wrote this book for me. This has everything that I enjoy in life, mythical sea creatures, cryptozoologists, important people on missing yachts, superheroes, conspiracies, and MIB. This was like every TV show I watch rolled into a fantastically intermingled story. The different pieces of the story are quite well intertwined and I really enjoyed every aspect of it. This was my first Dragon Man story but if they are all similar to this then I am on board.

Other than the president, who has a very brief part, I didn’t really have a strong emotion toward any of the characters. I actually didn’t care for Dragon Man at all and was ok that he wasn’t really the star of the story. It was really the pieces of the plot and the style that this was written that really got me excited. All the little references speckled throughout really made me smile. Once I started this I couldn’t stop. I can fully understand that this style isn’t for everyone, but as someone who loves bad tv and cheesy scifi, this really hit on a lot of my favorite topics. Not saying this is a bad or cheesy story, just has some of pieces often found in those stories.

Thames has a very deep and gritty voice, like turn the bass down deep. Definitely has a familiar quality like it would be a voice you would come across on a commercial. He didn’t provide character voices, but I was completely fine with that. While I like good character voices his cadence and inflection for the characters was sufficient.

Better than book 4

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

OK, so I decided to go ahead and give this book a try after feeling rather apathetic towards book 4. I'm more convinced with this book that DragonMan is just the "Universe" these books are set in and not really a central character to the general story contained in this book. The narrator for this book is a better choice as the setting and main character is an American. He has a gritty voice and did keep things interesting for me. I am inclined to agree with other reviewers that this is NOT a super hero story. More an X-Files/Fringe style one. That isn't a complaint, just an observation. I definitely liked this book far more than the last one. Still a bit underwhelmed, but I will admit to still being curious about the other books in the series. I wouldn't spend money on them at this point, but should they want more reviews, I'd certainly consider it.

A decent addition to the series

While the performance was a little cold and robotic, the story itself was a good continuation of the Dragon Man character. The story is interesting, but also tame enough for younger listeners.

Great Story!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. This is an excellent and well written story that is backed by impeccable narration.

Powerful but kinda confusing

What a voice! I didn't notice till after finishing that this was the 5th book in the series so some of the confusing mindsets of some main characters may make more sense if I caught up
