About this listen

Some things are meant to remain in the past.

Dr. Hugh Meyer believed he had created the ultimate miracle. Using the DNA of ancient creatures preserved in the Arctic, he had genetically engineered one of the most remarkable species of sea creature to ever exist: Serpentem Vectem Cel—Serpent Eel. Believed to possess the cure for countless diseases, the creature holds great promise for the medical community.

All goes awry when the beast escapes containment. With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it.

Fishing vessels are found wrecked, paddleboaters mysteriously disappear, and large whales turn up dead. Realizing his creation has become Mankind's worst nightmare, Hugh Meyer must join forces with the local police chief, a skillful mechanic, and a rich reality show star to bring the Serpent's rampage to a dead halt.

The story was good but would of been better if there was more monster and less romance

Needs more action less romance

Narrator had the peculiar habit of lowering the volume of his voice when characters were shouting or screaming.
The story has a monster that seemingly just cannot be killed! Lot's of gore, lot's of action and a really good listen.

Very good for an audible plus listen

As good as this genre gets, story wasn't half bad. Critter was impressive and original. Narrator was good although he did need to warm up.

Would listen again!

Enjoyable Sea Monster Romp

Excellent listen . A good story which you get involved in when listening to. Really makes you think about what could or maybe happens.

Yep one to listen to and enjoy.

The story is a fun, gory, easy to follow and most of all a nice brake from some heavy boring reading. Performance was perfect as always.

More of the Same please Mr Cole

Exactly what it should be
