Men had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar; for millennia its protective dome shut out the creeping decay and danger of the world outside. Once, it ruled the stars. But then, as legend had it, the Invaders came, driving humanity into this last refuge. It takes one man, a Unique, to smash the legend and discover the true nature of the Invaders.

Still a story to entertain and engage
Though now very dated, Arthur Clarke's story of heroism in the depths still serves to entertain. Written in a naive style of derring-do it still discusses some of the profound ethical questions that Clarke addressed so often, of humanity's relationship with the natural world, the struggle as was between science and religion and the fate of man when it meets some unknown higher intelligence. A ripping good yarn.

Oceans. Space. The human drama goes on!
Incredibly Clarke wrote this in 1957. handheld computers, worldwide computer connections, and sea-serpents! He goes deep into the oceans and far out into space. His story is almost 60 years old yet predates our modern technological era without seeming out of place today.

Ethical, thought provoking sci fi
I really enjoyed this book. It's "gentle" sci fi and suitable for people who don't normally listen to this genre. Well written and really makes you think about the planet and our role in it. Good narration.

Chopping and changing
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Good luck trying to guess where the plot of this book is going. There was a very sharp swerve in a different direction towards the end that made it really dull.
