About this listen
Stealing tea cups and saucers from the Titanic wreck site is not an easy task. Doing it without getting your feet wet is even harder. Dexter Knight and his two mismatched partners have managed to do it, but are finding it difficult to turn their acquisitions into cold hard cash. When one such sale goes horribly awry, they wind up hijacked, along with their technology. Unsure if he's now working for a government agency or a criminal conspiracy, Dexter finds his team dragged out to the oceans deepest spot, the Marianas Trench. There, beneath seven miles of sea water, lies an unknown object far more intriguing than fine china. While Dexter would prefer to get back to civilization and dry land, he finds himself pondering a more ominous question. If he leaves without solving the mystery beneath the waves, will there be any civilization to go back to?

Stacy’s life is in free fall. She finds herself clutching a handgun, searching for a sign that tomorrow will be any better than today. Her cell phone rings, bringing an offer that may postpone her soul searching. The discovery of an airplane graveyard containing a dozen commercial airliners is shocking. When the salvage camera reveals them to be virtually undamaged under in the Indian Ocean, theories abound. Who put them there? How are they still in one piece? What reason could there be? Stacy is about to learn the answers to those questions, as well things she’d prefer to forget.

Story
Dylan Townsend stands on the beach watching commercial jets fall out of the sky like oak leaves twirling in the wind. A wing shears off the one closest to the shore just before it splashes down in the sea. Why was she telling him this outlandish story? What sort of tourist agency would offer people a front row seat to the end of the world? More importantly, why would anyone book such a vacation if there wasn't any way home afterward?

The narration isn't as bad reviews say
I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review, and I'm glad I did. I think the reviews about the narration are unfair. It's not the most amazing, I admit, but it kinda reminded me of a submarine or scuba audio. I don't think it was intentional because it was the same even when they weren't underwater, but I think it was cool when the two overlapped. Just listen to the preview before you buy and decide for yourself if you like the narration. I think it was fine.
The story was the best part, though. I liked the humor sprinkled throughout and the surprise. It was a fun and mysterious journey with fun and interesting characters.

Great story
C.F Waller writes another great story, storyline is excellent, Characters are just that "characters", and the interaction between them is so real to life. The tech side is believable.
A great piece of fiction. Good entertainment.
Austin Freeman's performance of this book is good.
Though there are some minor problems with the actual recording. Most unusual for a CMP audiobook which are normally excellent quality.

Hightech fun hampered by production.
Story: I liked the story. Reviews that talk about how the tech is impossible missed the point. It's about fantasy. The book kind of reminds me of the Abyss.
Structure: The book was fine. Easy to follow and linear. Also a one off book.
Narrator: Unfortunately this was a big draw back. There was a odd echo and sounded like things falling in the background. Very cheap sounding. The narrator had no range and some lines repeated. This book needs to be fixed and re-uploaded.
I received this book for free in return for a voluntarily unbiased review.
I really liked the story and gave me the feeling I had while watching the Abyss though I was distracted by the poor quality of the production. May want to buy the book instead.

good story, horrible recording
While I enjoyed the story, and the voice of the narrator, the recording itself was horrible. At times you could hear background noise, or it sounded like he was recording in a box; there were many lines repeated. Obviously the quality was poor. I deleted the book and then tried to download again in hopes the problems were due to the down load, but no such luck. If you can get past the recording problems, the book itself is good; some areas could have been better developed that weren't and others shortened that were overly developed. But I liked the concept.

A great book ruined by poor narration...
I am not one who enjoys writing negative reviews of audiobooks because I understand how long and hard both author and narrator work to release a piece. Yet, it is harder for me when one element of the team brings the other one down. However, this is exactly what much of this review will cover from my listening of “Free Drive”, a new deep sea contemporary science fiction story. The book is written by C. F. Waller with the audiobook narration performed by Austin Freeman. Let me say that it has been some time last I heard an audiobook with such poor audio recording. I am able to forgive a few swallows being picked up, a page turning sound here or there, but when the entire recording sounds like it was performed in a hollow tin can using a USB microphone plugged into a cassette recorder, it is hard to not point out the many flaws. I will admit there were many times I was going to simply mark the book “Did Not Finish” and move on, yet I have enjoyed and reviewed other book by Mr. Waller and knew I would be in for a fun ride. If you are one who cannot put up with poorly produced audiobooks even though there is a strong story behind it, I would recommend you skip this audiobook and pick up the physical or digital print edition instead.
As usual, Mr. Waller pulls all the pieces of the story together making for quite a complex and deep world and characters. I found the book had quite a bit of mystery and suspense, and because of this, I was able to get past the narration and focus on the story itself. As with many of Mr. Waller’s other works, this one had a strong use of technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous mini-subs. What could go wrong when you have the technology to pirate the various treasures lost at sea; including many of the artifacts from the famous Titanic vessel? Additionally, what can happen when a mysterious group of people commandeer the technology for their own purposes? This is what you will find out in “Free Dive”. Much like “The Abyss” or “The Sphere” movies, one really gets a feel for how unforgiving the sea can be. Just like with space flight, the world under the sea is unforgiving and unkind. It felt to me that the author did a good job of researching his topic, or he is already one who is skilled in underwater exploration. The machinery, environmental descriptions, and the science all was quite believable and painted with a very colorful brush.
I will say that a few of the conversations between characters felt forced at times, but it was easy to dismiss. It just seemed like a few characters acted or spoke outside of my understanding or expectations of them. Without giving anything away, I would say that you will want to ensure you listen to the book’s epilogue. There are a few things that get brought up that you will not want to miss. The book did end with a few open-ended plot lines, but overall it really is a stand-alone novel with the potential of becoming a series if the author so chooses.
I’m not going to spend much time here talking about the book’s narration as I believe I addressed most of that in the opening part of the review. Because the narrator only has four total book, at the time of this review, on Audible, I am unsure if this poor recording is more a fluke or not. I know it is difficult for an audiobook to be reuploaded to Audible, but it really should not have been rushed prior to proper editing and validation by others. It is not unusual for a male author to have difficulty with female characters, yet the tinny sound and the narrator’s voice just made it harder for me to listen to female characters. There were quite a few places where I observed the narrator duplicated his lines and did not go back and clean up the mistakes which often take me out of the story for a second. There were noticeable volume consistency issues along with some background noise at times.
For parents and younger readers, be aware that there is some light romance along with a few scenes of quite graphic violence. I will say that of the many Waller books I have listened too, there is usually very little to no profanity. It is harder and harder to find solid stories, strong characters, and interesting worlds with such little use of vulgar language. If you can get past the very poor narration, I would suggest this as a book for teenagers or older.
In summary, I can best describe this book as being a great story that is ruined by very poor narration. The world we are dropped into is unforgiving, the characters are well-developed, and the events all believable and suspenseful. If the audiobook gets re-recorded, I would say this is a good book to pick up. If not, go and get the digital or physical print versions and enjoy.

Good Story- Poor Audio recording
First off I enjoyed the story, bit of a sci-fi nerd and this one hit the spot. Interesting characters and the premise was good, have seen similar stories so not new overall. But definitely kept me engaged, which was good as the recording quality was poor. Best description is watching a "B" movie where the acting is ok, cinematography is horrible, but the story still captures your attention. It has a hollow feel to it and in several spots the audio skips and a word repeats itself, kind of like listening to a scratch album. If you can get through that, it is worth making it all the way to the end.

good book, terrible audio
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Being a fan of CF Waller's writing, I was very hopeful for this book. The story is good, as expected, but the narration was awful. The audio quality is abismal. There is so much background noise it is utterly distracting. I almost shut it off and stopped listening a number of times. If the audio issues were taken care of, this would be a fantastic book.

This Book has Everything! So Many Mysteries in One
Free Dive
By: C. F. Waller
Narrated by: Austin Freeman
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
This book is extraordinary! It mixes so many wonderful things together and does it so well! There is an algae like substance killing animals across the oceans.
There is a team trying to find a deep sea artifact in the deeps of the oceans. Some thieves are forced to help with the recovery due to their unusal skills. But someone is trying to stop them.
A mysterious flu is killing everyone.
Something is in the deep water with them...
It is soooooo good! I loved this book! So good and action packed and filled with many mysteries!
The narrator was a perfect fit for this book. He did the voices, emotions and flow perfectly! Great job!
