Publisher's summary

When a plane crashes into the Antarctic ice, exposing a massive cave beneath, a rescue and research team is dispatched. Twenty-four hours later, all contact is lost. Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained squad of commandos are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong - and to follow up the detection of a vast underground reservoir. Accompanying the team is an assortment of researchers, including petrobiologist Aimee Weir. If the unidentified substance proves to be an energy source, every country in the world will want to know about it - some would even kill for it. Once inserted into the cave system, they don't find any survivors - not even a trace of their bodies. Primeval hieroglyphs hint at an ancient civilisation, and an ancient danger. Spectres of the dead haunt the tunnels. Within hours, one of the party will die. To bring his team out alive, Alex will need every one of his mysterious abilities beneath the dark ice.

Wow what an adventure!

This was a great story. Tons of adventure, drama, fear and pulse raising action. Mix nicely with humor, science and a bit of hopeful romance for the two main characters. I would recommend this book. Sean Mangan's voice for this audio book was great too!

Good Listen

Good plot, good characters and a very easy listen. Only criticism is that the narrator could have had a bit more emotion. Sounded very monotone at times. I loved the Russians!

I feel like something is missing

This book was really well written and interesting. It’s a very original idea (both Alex’s situation and the premise) and played out well in the structure of the book. The characters are interesting and likable but for some reason I just couldn’t get into this book. Maybe it focused a little too much on the history aspect rather than adding more action or maybe I was just distracted while I tackled it but I just felt like it didn’t pull me in.

Mr. Mangan's narration was great in both packing and characterization.

Pretty darn good!

I enjoyed this story more than I had planned. The story is 2000 Leagues meets Sigma Force and a little Temperance Brennan to round it out.

meh, entertaining

entertaining book if a tad amateurish, must characters are cookie cutter from almost every action movie you have ever seen, that said, I'll download and listen to the rest if the series.

If Steve Rogers was the Hulk then pit him against location monsters. Just give this man (Alex Hunter) a shield!

If you like comics and monsters - get this series. You won’t regret it. Narrator is better at a slightly faster speed.
