About this audiobook

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. In the tradition of Primordia, Greig Beck delivers another epic retelling of a classic story in an electrifying and terrifying adventure that transcends the imagination.

I liked the homage to Matt kerns, cameos or mentions from your main series characters gives us a little appreciation when we notice things from your other books and connect it to the same universe. I enjoyed the pacing, mystery, and it brought up a storyline I never explored before, a different world and different circumstance from beneath the dark ice. Harry wenton's character development was moving at nuclear speed. At first, he was just a dick, but he keeps growing on you, and you wonder how the experience molds him in sequels. I personally believe it was a missed opportunity. He had the money to fund the future expeditions and the opportunity to mature into a reasonable staple character, but I digress. I don't think you should have killed him, but it doesn't take away from the rest of the book. This nightmarish hell only showed just how underprepared they were. The scariest moment to me was the parasite plant. The toll on their body was highly executed in the description.
