Summary
Loch Ness holds secrets, ancient and deadly. Does a monster inhabit its depths, or is it just myth? Why, after thousands of reported sightings and dozens of expeditions, is there still no hard evidence?
Marine biologist Zachary Wallace knows, but the shock of his near-drowning as a child on Loch Ness have buried all memories of the incident. Now, a near-death experience suffered while on expedition in the Sargasso Sea has caused these long-forgotten memories to resurface. Haunted by vivid night terrors, stricken by a sudden fear of the water, Zach finds he can no longer function as a scientist.
Unable to cope, his career all but over, he stumbles down a path of self-destruction...until he receives contact from his estranged father, a man he has not seen since his parents divorced and he left Scotland as a boy.
Angus Wallace, a wily Highlander who never worked an honest day in his life, is on trial for murdering his business partner. Only Zachary can prove his innocence, if he is innocent, but to do so means confronting the nightmare that nearly killed him 17 years earlier.
Incorporating the latest research and "new evidence", that leads to real answers concerning the monster's identity, best-selling author Steve Alten weaves a tale of horror about the most publicized and controversial creature ever to exist.

Very enjoyable, well worth the listen.
I’d put off listening to this because I preferred the Meg series but wow? This was great. Hats off to the narrator. He really put in an effort and for the most part his accents were pretty good.

Don't be put off by the Scottish accents.
Once I'd got my head around the dodgy Scottish accents I really enjoyed the book.

Enjoyable adventure story
As long as you can get past the phone Scots accent, it’s an enjoyable wee story about nessy and the continuing adventure to find her.

Don’t go near the water
A nice mix of history and a gripping yarn. Really enjoyable if creature features are your thing.

This is another good Steve Alten monster book
Like the first Meg books this carries just enough (almost) credible science to back what is an enthralling story. The characters have depth and there is enough mystery to keep you hooked.

Beside The Acting, Very Well Written.
I enjoyed this story and the concept of Nessie being real. I love the combination of fact with fiction. The story was a good listen, the narrator has brilliant notice to detail, and a good sense of where when and who with the characters being able to switch from one character to another, as well as great effort in switching to and fro with the accents well performed. Fantastic combination of Writer and Narrator.

Thrilling Scotland
This book was downloaded to accompany me on a long journey to and from Scotland which involved skirting past Loch Ness. The narration was superb with commendable Scottish accents and incredible intonation. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a love of Scotland, history and /or aquatic life. It is a highly plausible explanation of the legends surrounding Loch Ness although I’m not sure I will ever want to paddle along its shores! It’s a great story with some brilliant characters which will appeal to all .
