About this listen
Two years after his wife’s death, oceanographer and former navy SEAL, Atticus Young attempts to reconcile with his rebellious daughter, Giona, by taking her on the scuba dive of a lifetime - swimming with a pod of peaceful humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine. But the beauty of the sea belies a terror from the deep - a horrific creature as immense as it is ancient. There is no blood, no scream, no fight. Giona is swallowed whole by the massive jaws. Only Atticus remains to suffer the shame of the survivor and his inconsolable grief turns to an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Drawn by the spectacle, Trevor Manfred, a ruthless billionaire, approaches Atticus with a proposition: Trevor will make available all the advanced technology of his heavily armed mega-yacht, the Titan, to aid Atticus in his death-quest. In return, Trevor is to receive the beast’s corpse as the ultimate hunting trophy. But in the midst of the hunt, Atticus makes a terrifying discovery that changes the way he sees the ocean’s creatures and begs the question: What is Kronos? The answer sets him on a new and much more deadly course.
This updated edition has been reedited, revised, repackaged, and expanded, making this new edition of Kronos superior to all that came before.

Kaiju are my thing. Since childhood and seeing the original Godzilla movie I've been a fan of giant monsters and my innate fear of depths mean that sea-monsters are my favourite and so I'm always excited to read stories of this setting.
I admit that, early on, I was worried this was going to be another generic Plesiosaur book as this was the impression of the audiobook cover and initial hints as to the creature, but I should have had more faith in the author of the Project Nemesis series. Pretty soon I was embroiled in a world of egos, billionaires, action and a titanic sea-creature with a questionable origin.
The book had a real sense of urgency and, while lacking in excessive scenes of monsterous attack, it successfully maintains a sense of danger and impending threat. Atticus' motivations are clear, as are those of the supporting cast but, if I had one gripe, it's that some of the relationships are a little bland and felt too convenient but very much in keeping with an action story, which this is at its core.
Speaking of cast, each one is wonderfully realised by the indomitable Jeffrey Kafer, a man who's name is synonymous with quality narration and this was no exception with both recognisable character voices and a real sense of emotion and reality to each scene.
Far better than I'd first expected and with a real sense of surprise and revelation throughout, I enjoyed this book much more than I initially expected and Jeremy has once again proven why he is the master of the Kaiju genre.
Another brilliantly clever Kaiju book.
