Serpent

A Deep Sea Thriller

By: Michael Cole

Narrated by: Tom Beyer

Some things are meant to remain in the past.

Dr. Hugh Meyer believed he had created the ultimate miracle. Using the DNA of ancient creatures preserved in the Arctic, he had genetically engineered one of the most remarkable species of sea creature to ever exist: Serpentem Vectem Cel—Serpent Eel. Believed to possess the cure for countless diseases, the creature holds great promise for the medical community.

All goes awry when the beast escapes containment. With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it.

Fishing vessels are found wrecked, paddleboaters mysteriously disappear, and large whales turn up dead. Realizing his creation has become Mankind's worst nightmare, Hugh Meyer must join forces with the local police chief, a skillful mechanic, and a rich reality show star to bring the Serpent's rampage to a dead halt.

Meh

Kind of sophomoric. Relationship stuff was like high school drama. Creature is ridiculously overpowered. I should’ve passed on this one

it's ok

it was upbeat and kinda funny.It is AI so that was a little off putting

Suspense filled fun!

A little difficult to suspend disbelief at times, but it’s a monster story, just go with it and enjoy!😜

Gory and I liked it

Performance was great. Was very gory but isn’t that why we buy these books? The author managed to avoid some annoying horror tropes and I really appreciated that.

unique monster

first story for a longtime that I didn't want to put down my headphones! totally enjoyable.
