About this listen

When a sink hole opens up near the Australian outback town of Pintalba, it uncovers a pristine cave system. Sam joins an expedition to explore the subterranean passages as paramedic support, hoping to remain unneeded at base camp. But, when one of the cavers is injured, he must overcome paralyzing claustrophobia to dive pitch-black waters and squeeze through the bowels of the earth.

Soon he will find there are fates worse than being buried alive, for in the abandoned mines and caves beneath Pintalba, there are ravenous teeth in the dark.

As a savage predator targets the group with hideous ferocity, Sam and his friends must fight for their lives if they are ever to see the sun again.

An Intriguing Mystery

Fortunately, I found "The Cavern" in the included with your membership section and discovered a new author. The Australian narration made the story more enjoyable and authentic. The premise has a potential for a great series.

Great Aussie horror

I loved this book, exciting and terrifying.
I really loved the fact it was located in Australia in the outback about Australians with a Aussie accent. The narrator was great too. I will be reading more from this author. This would make a great movie.

Bit of a romp

Inflections used in every sentence were distracting and frustrating to listen to. Story was a bit of a high school horror but a good enough romp.

A chilling and well designed romp

The characters are super well developed and pull you into the story incredibly well, making the impossible breathe and feel like you should never enter any kind of cavern ever.
