About this listen

One of the greatest breakthroughs in human history. A secret that was never supposed to be found. And a crisis that cannot be stopped.

Deep in the Caribbean Sea, a nuclear submarine is forced to suddenly abort its mission under mysterious circumstances. Strange facts begin to emerge that lead naval investigator John Clay to a small group of marine biologists who are quietly on the verge of making history.

With the help of a powerful computer system, Alison Shaw and her team are preparing to translate the first two-way conversation with the planet's second smartest species. But the team discovers much more from their dolphins than they ever expected when a secret object is revealed on the ocean floor. One that was never supposed to be found.

Alison was sure she would never trust the military again. However, when an unknown group immediately becomes interested in her work, Alison realizes John Clay may be the only person she can trust. Together, they must piece together a dangerous puzzle, and the most frightening piece is the trembling in Antarctica.

To make matters worse, someone from the inside is trying to stop them. Now, time is running out...and our understanding of the world is about to change forever.

I came across this novel quite by accident and thought I'd give it a go, I found the overall story to be refreshingly unique, it kept my interest so far as to fall asleep binge listening. I found the characters to be strong, well thought out and very individual, there WERE a few times during the novel when things seemed a little off and re-listening these very minor faults were not enough to put me off hearing the full book. Overall I feel that this author will go far and have already put all of his other novels in my basket to be purchased as and when I can afford. Well done Mr Grumley I wish you all the very best for your bright future.

Brilliant.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Scott Brick. It was an excellent story which introduced characters that I hope will appear in future books. The story developed well and I thoroughly enjoyed the tale. Scott Brick as ever is an excellent story teller.

I listened to this Sci-fi/Eco/Adventure thriller whilst driving a 300 miles there and back trip. The miles just slipped by as I was totally engrossed in the plot. I have already purchased book 2 in the series and can’t wait to be reintroduced to the characters. This book would suit anyone interested in the above genres- old or young, male or female.

Engrossing page turner

Well, there are a few plot points that are a bit far fetched ... for example, despite all the amazing technology, the researchers somehow don't have gps trackers and just let the dolphins out into the wide ocean without trackers. Even my dog has a tracker!
DESPITE this and a few other unlikely plot holes, it is still a wonderful novel.
Suspend your belief and just go with it - it's worth it! Amazing performance by Scott Brick.

Cracking story, great performance
