Summary
One of the greatest breakthroughs in human history. A secret that was never supposed to be found. And a crisis that cannot be stopped.
Deep in the Caribbean Sea, a nuclear submarine is forced to suddenly abort its mission under mysterious circumstances. Strange facts begin to emerge that lead naval investigator John Clay to a small group of marine biologists who are quietly on the verge of making history.
With the help of a powerful computer system, Alison Shaw and her team are preparing to translate the first two-way conversation with the planet's second smartest species. But the team discovers much more from their dolphins than they ever expected when a secret object is revealed on the ocean floor. One that was never supposed to be found.
Alison was sure she would never trust the military again. However, when an unknown group immediately becomes interested in her work, Alison realizes John Clay may be the only person she can trust. Together, they must piece together a dangerous puzzle, and the most frightening piece is the trembling in Antarctica.
To make matters worse, someone from the inside is trying to stop them. Now, time is running out...and our understanding of the world is about to change forever.

Well worth a listen
A bit of a change from my usual listening but overall a good story, good characters and good narration. Ending felt a little rushed but still enjoyable and will be looking out for other books from author.

I couldn't stop listening!
A great read, with lots of thrilling plot twists and intelligent characterisation. The ending, or the beginning of the ending, was not what I expected.

Loved it
This is a really good listen , the story is great and I couldn’t predict what was going to happen next , all the characters knitted together perfectly near the end.
For his first book it’s amazing.
The narration is spot on too.
Looking forward to the next one.

Very well researched first time novel…
Really enjoyed the science, the intricacies of power and the interesting visitors who need water for their own survival on their planet! Most of all I enjoyed the two stars of the show, the amazing dolphins which for the benefit of those at the back, are ‘not’ fish! All in all there are many layers to this novel and I’m looking forward to Michael’s next box…

Great first novel
Well paced, super exciting and very well written. Unlike some readers, the narrator succeeded in keeping me completely immersed in the story. Can’t wait for the next book from this duo!

What an intriguing premise,......
A totally different plot line, that really draws you in and keeps you enthralled. After remembering to dial the speed down, the narrator just about becomes bearable, but still too inappropriately emotionally dramatic. Good job there are enough characters you really want to know more about and see how it all pans out... Looking forward to the next instalment.
