Publisher's summary

In the thrilling new blockbuster from Greig Beck comes the most horrifying edition to the Arcadian collection as Alex Hunter must journey into the heart of a volcano and confront a hellish adversary more powerful than anything he and his team have ever faced before.

"Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to light." (John Milton, Paradise Lost)

Pompeii, present day: archaeologist Maria Monti is working at a new dig site. Like hundreds before her she is investigating the night that Vesuvius erupted, consuming the ancient city with choking ash, scalding steam, and rivers of lava.

But she has just unearthed something that shouldn’t be there, something that makes her question everything she knows about the disappearances of that fateful event.

Several hundred miles away Alex Hunter’s family is holidaying in southern Italy when Mount Etna begins to shake, and ash begins to blanket the countryside. Figures are moving about in the smoke, hideous shapes, snatching people from the streets, and scans indicate they are being taken into the core of the erupting volcano.

Hell is rising, and Alex Hunter must gather a team of his most battle hardened HAWCs to take on an adversary from the very depths of hell. Nothing will stop him from rescuing Aimee and Joshua, not even the devil itself.

Big fan!

I do enjoy Greigs writing style. His character development makes the reader actually KNOW each character and care for them as if they were family. Keep it up! Now on to the next book.

Perhaps the best yet

I thoroughly enjoyed Beneath the Dark Ice, but this installment in the Alex Hunter series was just as good. With a monster similar to that found in The Siberian Incident, this book had everything I’ve come to love in Beck’s writing and then some.

Cliff hangers abound in this one, and I can’t wait for the next one...

Narrator

The narrator , Sean Mangan makes the story so full of life with the various characters.

I try and follow Sean mangan in my books

Narrator-Heavy Breather & Mispronounces a lot

First this narrator has some major breathing issues. They're so awful I had to keep turning the volume down until it was not as gross.

As for Narrating the story I have to say that the British Narrators have been destroying the pronunciations of words most Americans would agree, just don't sound right.
1. Respiratory (adjective) pronounced as **res-per-uh-tawr-ee**
NOT...
*reees-peeer-uh-tawr-euh**

That's just 1 word of many. I forgot to mark them every time I heard them. Respiratory, was just the most blatant & irritating word, along with his heavy breathing, I almost had to turn the entire book off.
I get so tired of listening to books that the Narrator destroys by pronouncing English words incorrectly. It's like, they have to KNOW they're mispronouncing these words but don't care anymore? Why?

Wild ride!

I was so excited to hear about Alex Hunter again! always so much fun. I like the premise and the same "to be continued" endings. one thing for me that cost a star... what happened to Bryce and Lucas?????

Another story that ensnares you!

Only criticism is the mispronunciation of common words in American English. Not sure if it's a variation due to national dialect, but does take away a small amount from story. But overall, well read!

Wow!!

Another awesome book! Thank you Greig Beck for can’t put down book!! On to the next!!

got to love Greig Beck

I loved the storyline from hell ,the narration of the story was excellent, I don't know were he finds the characters but I loves how he builds on them in the Alex Hunter novels, but now it's on to The Darkside

Love this series of Books!

I have really enjoyed this series of books as well as the narrator who is one of the best I have listened to.

Good

This is a good special forces book series with a little sci-fi twist to it.
