About this listen

East Antarctica: the coldest, most desolate location on earth. Two-and-a-half miles below the ice cap is Vostok, a 6,000 square mile liquid lake, over 1,000 feet deep, left untouched for more than 15 million years. Now, marine biologist Zachary Wallace and two other scientists aboard a submersible tethered to a laser will journey 13,000 feet beneath the ice into this unexplored realm to discover Mesozoic life-forms long believed extinct - and an object of immense power responsible for the evolution of modern man.

In this sequel to The Loch and prequel to Meg: Nightstalkers, New York Times best-selling author Steve Alten offers listeners a crossover novel that features characters from two of his most popular series.

Steve Alten describes this as faction, part fiction, part science in his introduction, but that's pushing it somewhat. As in his other books there is a fair bit of science but it pushes it a long way. The first part of this story is much like what you would expect, exploring an unknown sea an it's unexpected denizens. About half way through though it gets a bit strange and the new direction didn't quite fit the settings and characters for me. It's good fun and it is worth listening through to the end, but it's not the same animal as his Meg books or the Loch.

More monsters but gets a bit weird.

What was an interesting but unrealistic story turned into farce with the introduction of multi time dimensions.

Good start poor finish.

An interesting read and continuation from the previous book 'the Loch' with continuing characters and intrigue. The story starts off how you would expect a follow on book to go but takes a dramatic turn that leads away from where you expect and may want the book to go. Some of the flash back scenes can make for confusing reading/following but do add plenty of interesting information and continue the plot along nicely.

Interesting with unexpected twists.

like other reviews I agree this book started out OK. but then it suddenly changed direction and the creatures became secondary. at first I thought I had fallen asleep and missed something so went back a few chapters to check. nope it wasn't me it was him! so for the first time I skipped through the chapters trying to find my way back to the story, which had sadly disappeared along with Nessie!!

started off ok
