Fathomless – Greig Beck
(4.5 / 5)
Another awesome stand alone action/adventure by Aussie author Greig Beck! I love his books! Especially on audio narrated by Sean Mangan! Like an action movie for your ears!
Cate Granger is an evolutionary biologist, intent on following her grandfather’s footsteps, who disappeared in Baranof Island the Gulf of Alaska, back in 1952. With a team of fellow scientists, a billionaire, and an old flame, Cate makes her way by submarine into an untouched underground sea. They soon find they are not alone in the dark water, a giant megalodon shark had decided the submarine and its crew looks rather tasty, and it will soon discover that the rest of the planets oceans have many more people to eat! Will they be able to defeat the giant predator before it’s too late?
So much fun! Action-packed and fast paced, Beck has never once disappointed me!
Yes, his books are a bit of a guilty pleasure, all you just have to sit back and enjoy! However, you only have to relax and enjoy without too much thinking because Beck has done all the thinking for you! I really admire all the research he puts into all of his books, it is meticulous. He is sneakily making me learn stuff! From the way submarines work to the creatures in the deep ocean, I now feel like I know a lot more than I did before I started!
Love a bit of romance in my books, and there was a touch here and there. Perhaps not quite so much romantic tension as I would have liked, compared to (most of) the Alex Hunter novels. I always think it adds another dimension when the characters are fighting for their lives, and have almost palpable tension with each other. In this respect there just wasn’t quite enough for me, but it was still enjoyable. Plus I am sure a lot of his audience are after much more action than romance!
Would I recommend Fathomless?
Yes! Give it a go! Especially on audio! It certainly made 12 hours of housework and travel to and from work much more enjoyable! I have already downloaded more of his books because I had forgotten how much I enjoy them!
I purchased Fathomless on Audible.com at my own expense.
