About this listen

Lenie Clarke has grown sick to death of her own cowardice.

For five years, she and her bionic brethren have hidden in the mountains of the deep Atlantic. The facility they commandeered was more than a secret station on the ocean floor. Atlantis was an exit strategy for the corporate elite, a place where the world's Movers and Shakers had hidden from the doomsday microbe ßehemoth. For five years "rifters" and "corpses" have lived in a state of uneasy truce, united by fear of the outside world.

An unknown enemy hunts them through the crushing darkness of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. ßehemoth has found them already. The fragile armistice between the rifters and their one-time masters has exploded into all-out war, and not even the legendary Lenie Clarke can take back the body count.

Billions have died since she loosed ßehemoth upon the world. The consequences of past acts reach inexorably to the very floor of the world, and Lenie Clarke must return to confront the mess she made.

But even after five years in pitch-black purgatory, Lenie Clarke is still Lenie Clarke. There will be consequences for anyone who gets in her way—and worse ones, perhaps, if she succeeds . . .

Satisfying end to a heady, claustrophobic story!

This was a great conclusion to the Rifters series. I like how the three (+1) books have central theme they explore, each separate from or an extension of the last.

Brilliant close to a killer story

I listen to audiobooks fast (1.4-2x speed), so I really enjoyed the performer here because her voice sounds good sped up like that.

Watts is a masterful writer where it comes to telling a story, creating depth in a universe, making you care about people you probably wouldn’t like in real life. Just excellent all around.

Disappointing

A boring dnf for me. I endured about as much of the plodding story as I could, and then decided it wasn't worth it to sit through the transition to serial killer torture story. I loved Starfish, but the rest of this series has been a waste of time.
