Summary

Harmsworth. A remote, mist-shrouded island in the Russian Arctic. Archaeology Professor Callum Ross makes the discovery of a lifetime: a prehistoric ice mummy preserved for thousands of years by the sub-zero temperatures. Only, they didn't die of natural causes....

As Callum races to unravel the mystery of the mutilated corpse, others race to sabotage the expedition. He and his team are left stranded, and they are not alone on the island. Someone, or something relentless, is stalking them.

As the arctic mist descends and the death toll rises, the team is thrust into a nightmare fight for survival, involving submarines, cyber warfare and Spetsnaz. But none of this can prepare them for the real terror that survives deep within the island's heart: a secret so ancient it's been overlooked by time itself.

great story terrible narration!

I am really enjoying the story line but the narration is terrible. It sounds like a computer generated voice.

Killed by narrator

I really wanted to enjoy this, it it had all the hallmarks of something i would enjoy, but unfortunately i couldn`t finish it. I lasted just shy of 4 hours or a third of the books length and had to stop. The issue wasn't the story which was just starting to ramp up a it, but he narration. I had to say he did the accents well, the issue was all the bits in-between dialogue was so profoundly dully delivered that i found it impossible to contrate on words he he was saying which meant i kept zoning out and having to go back to listen again. After 4 hours i gave up.

Russian Names Wrong

Part way through now and just wanted to warn that the Russian names don’t follow gendering conventions properly, very confusing until you realise what’s going on - eg Lebedev is female, Danilova or something at the start is male.

Narrator is so-so, accents not great, will update when finished.

I think the story was good

the narrator made this difficult for me. his tone and reading style meant that I kept drifting off and not paying attention. the parts I did focus on were good and I think if I see this as a physical book I will read it.

This performance however was not for me
