Publisher's summary

Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Kirkland surfaces from an aborted underwater salvage mission to find the Earth burning. Solar flares have triggered a series of gargantuan natural disasters. Earthquakes and hellfire rock the globe. Air Force One has vanished from the skies with America’s president on board.

Now, with the US on the narrow brink of a nuclear apocalypse, Kirkland must pilot his oceangoing exploration ship, Deep Fathom, on a desperate mission miles below the ocean’s surface. There devastating secrets await him - and a power an ancient civilization could not contain has been cast out into modern day. And it will forever alter a world that’s already racing toward its own destruction.

Gripping and Exciting

I loved it. Just an amazing author! Just downloaded Amazonia! On to my next great adventure, sure to not disappoint!

Excellent Story

This story is slightly different from the other books by this author - however it keeps you on the edge of your seat all through the story. Different characters but very engaging.

James Rollins is a literary genius

Loved the book, I've read every singe one of his novels and have now started his series on audible to make the long drives fly by! Highly suggest it!

easy listening

I listened to this book while commuting to work daily. It is easy listening and easy to visualize without distracting from the drive. I am looking forward to downloading more books by Rollins.

Good listening

The story moved along well. I found a few things implausible but it was entertaining.The reader is good. I always liked his voice in these books.

good story

I'm not a fan of the narrator. his voice doesn't help the story and makes it hard to follow sometimes

A nice break from the sigma force series

As someone who has read many of Rollin’s sigma force novels I thought this was a good way to maintain the light action and adventure in those books while not relying on the happenings for a complete series. Incorporated a lot of unique concepts into the fabric of the story. I listened to this while running, and it was a great way to pass the time.

Good read

I like how he builds the plot in segments and then pulls them all together. He also does a great job of building the characters, so you feel like you know them a bit as they grow through the story. Mr. Rollins has a knack for building adventure and fantastic characters into his stories.

Seriously unbelievable!

This is one of the most unbelievable books I have suffered through in some time.

Narrator's voice is tedium personified

Horrible, horrible, narration. The kind of narration you might expect from a first time reader, who was given absolutely no direction whatever, and who was in a real hurry to finish the recording....and who didn't understand that the voices of the 7 or eight main characters should be distinct from one another, or understand that the female voices don't have to sound as though they are mentally challenged, and who understands that there should be dynamics in the volume of his voice, or any of the things that a director should have coached him on. The voice was a meager attempt, at best, and fittingly, the last name of the narrator is "Meagher"... I hate being so mean, but I can't even rate the book itself, because I can't bring myself to finish listening. I just can't stand it.
