Publisher's Summary

In Fathomless, the greatest predator the world has ever known is coming home in 2016.

Carcharodon megalodon. The largest and most fearsome predator to have ever existed on our planet. Rumours of its existence in our modern oceans have persisted for centuries. Now, in a new adventure, the rumours explode into brutal and terrifying reality in Fathomless, by Greig Beck.

Baranof Island, Gulf of Alaska, 1952. Jim Granger is searching for a place of legend. Known as Bad Water by the island's elders, it's reputed to be home to many dangerous creatures. Through a seam in a cliff face, Jim finds what he seeks. He also finds, too late, that the water demon he was warned about is horrifyingly real.

Today Cate Granger is following in her grandfather's footsteps. Along with a team of scientists and crew, she accidentally releases a creature from Earth's primordial past into today's oceans. The giant megalodon shark follows its instinct and a genetic memory of a home that existed millions of years ago along the Californian coast.

Nothing is safe on or below the water as the monster stakes its claim on the world's oceans. Now Cate and her team must do battle with a creature that has no rival, knows no fear, and regards humans as nothing more than prey.

Another Great Greig Beck novel

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Sure I would. There is action, action and some more action. And an interesting storyline - what's not to recommend?

What other book might you compare Fathomless to, and why?

Ice Station by Matthew Reilly
Icebound by Dean Koontz

All books have a similar (though hardly the same) storyline. If you enjoy ANY of Matthew Reilly's book then you should like Fathomless.

What about Sean Mangan’s performance did you like?

I just like his voice... :D

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a couple of sad bits in the book. A couple of "shock" bits that you didn't see coming....

Meg-a-la-don

The story was done well and the enemys being both the shark and the Russians is an interesting touch of complexity, however the way the narrator pronounces megalodon makes me cringe every time. It took a lot of excitement away from the ominous nature of the giant shark. It almost seems like takes most of its characters from Steve Altons "Meg" series, and in doing so lessens the depth of character development.
I enjoyed this book and many others from Greig Beck but the narrator has dulled my enthusiasm for the second instalment.

So first thing first you think a narrator working on a audiobook about a megalodon would be able to pronounce megalodon correctly but nope dosnt get the scientific names of megalodon and the great white correct either.

Narrator is very flat and emotionless also which drags the story through the mud.

The book it self had great promise while in the cave system but after that it just falls flat, the main character Kate is completely insufferable.

This comment is coming from a massive Meg head fan to:(

Lost it at the end.

Started of amazing, I loved the idea of the first 1/2. A giant underwater cave with prehistoric monster in it!!! yes please! sounds like and awesome horror story. But then. like always with anything evolving sharks it becomes and action novel set on the high seas.

Its a good book, definitely worth the read. But completely losses its way at the end.

The first half in the undersea was great but once the story moves to the surface I found the story drags a lot. The way megalodon is pronounced by the narrator is very annoying.

Not the best and annoying narrator

The story has a really good outline, but the actual meat of it wasnt the best and the terrible inclusions of such a ridiculous love interest that felt so forced and not thought out was hard to listen to. Unfortunately it was the narrator that made me switch this off early without finishing. You would think that the narrator could pronouce the latin of the shark correctly (i know its not important to the story but irked me something bad) but also the tone was not to my liking unfortunately.
