About this listen

Former special forces agent turned particle physicist Ben Holden is on the run. The New Caliphate will stop at nothing to get their hands on his wife’s scientific research, which is believed to hold the key to unleashing chaos in the West and advancing their cause. But in reality it’s Ben’s biometrics that have the potential to unlock the information they so desperately need. Within the oceanic world of Pelagia, in the year 2066, Ben finds sanctuary among the sea settlers of the South Pacific Pelagic Territory, but his respite is short-lived.

What a rollercoaster this book is! The story is thrilling from beginning to end, with great characters. It's the science that really sets this book apart though. AI characters, robotic marine organisms, amphibious ships, dolphin communication technology - are all totally believable. A great ethical message comes across in the tuna harvesting methods and in the pelagic community living in harmonious balance with the marine ecosystem. Honestly, this book leaves you wishing the world could really be like this.
The descriptions make it very visual. All the while I was thinking how well it could be adapted as a feature film. I do hope this happens - I really think it would be a blockbuster.
The audiobook narration is outstanding - Christopher Ashman skillfully manages to give identity to multiple characters all with the same regional accents. Very impressive.
I enjoyed this book so much. I can't wait for the second installment!

What a rollercoaster!
