Publisher's Summary
Down there, beyond the deepest caves, below the crust and the mantle, there is another world. An old woman locked away in a Russian asylum has a secret - knowledge of a 500-year-old manuscript written by a long-dead alchemist that will show a passage to the mythical centre of the Earth.
She knows it’s real because 50 years ago, she and a team travelled there. And only she made it back.
Today, caving specialist Mike Monroe leads a crew into the world’s deepest cave in the former Soviet Union. He’s following the path of a mad woman and the words of an ancient Russian alchemist that were the basis of the fantastical tale by Jules Verne. But what horrifying things he finds will tear at his sanity and change everything we know about evolution and the world, forever.

Couldn’t stop listening
Absolutely fascinating and enthralling.
At the start I almost turned it off but wow, am I glad I listened that extra few minutes.
So good. Loved the whole thing.

Awesome book
I listened to this non stop over two days as usual Grieg Beck and Sean Mangan (narrator) have outdone themselves.
Grieg is my favourite Author.

Loved this!
This was fantastic from start to finish. It was so descriptive and the characters were really fleshed out and engaging. The narrator was great, and I finished this book in only a couple of days because I couldn’t stop listening. I’ve just preordered book 2!

Imaginative Take.
I enjoyed the creativity of how the lifeforms and mechanics of the inner earth worked. The characters seemed a little underdeveloped, especially secondary ones, and I felt some of the nuances in personality and intent didn't have plot pay-off. Generally a solid read, and I would recommend.

Retelling the better story
Jules Verne wrote the great novel, and this travels in its shadow. While initially interesting and entertaining in the details about caving, the story wilts in the last third, and the narrator wilts with it, making it a hard slog to the inevitable end. Not sure I can listen to any sequels.

SURPRISINGLY GOOD
Was unsure if I would enjoy this, but was pleasantly surprised the mix of a new take on an old theme. Paid homage to all past literary attempts, this gave it a air of authenticity, without being a mere copy of past efforts of Jules Verne, Charles Darwin and the many cinematic portrayals.
Narration enhanced the story telling. The sign of a good story where although complete, leaves you wanting more.

enjoyable
i love the team of Grieg and Sean and i really enjoyed this story...unbelievable but terrifyingly real! my only issue is (and please don't hate on me) i found Sean's narrative to be quite boreing...i love Sean..he was the first narrator i listened to but there just wasn't enough "oomph" for this book. i am really looking forward to the second book though 😁
