In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

I want to erase my memory of this so I can listen to it again
Revisado: 04-20-24
Starts off with all the familiar tropes of classic horror novels and then surpasses them on every level. John Langan takes the immensity of cosmic horror and reduces it to a very relatable and intimate level I did not think possible. Danny Campbell as narrator is so perfect in voice and performance, I found it difficult to stop listening at the end of my commutes. Quite a few times I didn't.
Entangled within the tales of this story are little nuggets of lore that threaten to lodge themselves into your unconscious and pull your thoughts to secret depths. Often it's what lies beyond the pages that causes a story to stick with us the most.

Great story. Keeps you questioning everybody's motives until the end. Wraps everything up nicely as well.
The narration was also great.

The last survivors of humanity have just been deposited on Pandora, a horrific, poisonous planet rife with deadly nerve-runners, hooded dashers, airborne jellyfish, and intelligent kelp. The determined colonists attempt to establish a bridgehead on the deadly, inhospitable planet, but more trouble arises. Their sentient ship - backed up by an impressive array of armaments - has decided it is God and is insisting the colonists find appropriate ways to worship it.

Why is this story not more popular?
Revisado: 09-23-17
I almost didn't get this story because of so many negative reviews. But I was craving some fresh Herbert style narrative and analysis so went with it anyway.
First of all, Scott Brick is on par with his performance. read some poor reviews of his performance, I have heard a lot worse on Audible. There is not always a huge difference in the voices he gives his characters, but he annunciates clearly and his tone and tempo are always appropriate.
I don't understand the reviews that did not like the female characters. I suppose they didn't provide a lot of information as to why they we're not liked. Halley (it was an audio book so not sure of the spelling) is probably the most refreshing female character I have read in a Herbert book. Sometimes I think Herbert tries to portray strength in his females by giving them male characteristics (very apparent in this book), and Halley seemed to portray real feminine strength.
I unfortunately have not read Ransom before. I would like to so I could better understand his influence on the book.
I could see the religious themes of the story grinding on all sides of religious views. I believe both sides of a religious debate could find their views represented in this book. Unfortunately, I also thing both sides can find opposing views in this book. Which is what makes it so great, but I think it is easy for people to find offense if they want to.
I would highly recommend this book to anybody who is not easily offended and is willing to approach sensitive subjects with an open mind.
If you're looking for sci-fi action adventure, this is probably not for you.
