About this listen

Mike Monroe and Jane Baxter barely survived their terrifying journey to the center of the Earth. But a burning curiosity still tormented them about the origins of the pale creatures in the stygian darkness of the caves, and why were their dreams also haunted by something huge and monstrous that seemed as old as time itself?

Now, news of a Russian military expedition has forced their hands, and also meant they must go back to a place they swore they’d never return. But this time they’re going with a team of highly skilled mercenaries and scientists to help them track the Russians and also help unlock the secrets hidden at the center of the planet.

But what they find is something that evolution created in an environment vastly different to that of the benign world of the surface. And something that waits eagerly for their return.

Exciting story

A great book and good audible book. At times the narration was filled with expression and feeling. However, at other times it was like listening in slow motion. I believe this would be most excellent Audible book if read at a faster tempo.

In these caves the darkest reality becomes real

I thought the first book was dark but holy cow this book takes it to a whole new level. great story and a worthy sequel for sure. I'm incredibly curious to see if there'll be a sequel to this one.

As Good as the First One

I found this version to be as good and gruesome as the first Of this two-part series. I’ll be interested to see if there’s another sequel..

5-star for sure. Would recommend this highly

Beck has a highly original take on a theme going back to Jules Verne. GREAT STORYTELLING, great dialogue, and all around hard to put down. Hard to put down!

Good sequel

I was excited to see that there was a sequel to the first book and really hoped the author would delve more deeply into some of the creatures in the book; definitely did not disappoint I only wish we had more closer to the Dagon character and also disappointed with the ending of female character Alley, if she were a villain then her ending would have been justified in my book, but she wasn’t and how easy could the author have just had her meet her end via suicide grenade in the dog peoples nest instead of her pleading for her life without any closure for the character….probably the worst part of the book which ended being the ending.

Not as good as the first, unnecessary dark ending.

I ended up liking the first book a little more if only because I felt the ending in this one was unnecessarily dark for no real reason other then a call back to the beginning of the book.
The way one character, who was painted as a good person, ended up was pretty awful and soured the book for me a bit.
Overall not a bad “junk food” style book, will probably listen to the next one.

Great story. Good narrating, thanks to speed boost

The story was fun. Fast paced and interesting. Lots of new monsters and expansions on some of the ones from the first book. On par with the first book, the physics are completely nonsensical, but that’s not what these are about.

Comment on the narrator. This guy sounds like he is intentionally reading the book slowly. It’s so slow that it’s tough to listen through. I listened to most of the book at 1.3x to make it sound almost normal. Without the speed modification, I probably wouldn’t have continued with it.

Great story

Love the story as it continued from the first one. Bit slow to start but kept me interested all the way to the end. Lots of gore and death. Politics were again a part of it but not too bad.
