Summary

A sudden burst of radiation is detected beneath the desert in Iran. Alex Hunter – code name Arcadian – and his highly trained incursion team are dropped into the ruins of Persepolis. All they find is an empty underground facility – nothing to explain the gamma spike. It is as if a black hole has swept everything away....

Israel is threatening nuclear war. And someone, or something, is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers in the desert. If a black hole has taken everything, could something have come back? And then another radiation 'event' occurs. An ancient prophecy is unraveling.

gripping and pleasing

Creatively written and pleasingly suspenseful. The characters are easily distinguishable by their dialogue, and the narrator did a goodjob with the accent

Gets better and better!

After all the groundwork in laying out the story the action started. It was great! Much better than the previous book. There was only one monster, if you don't count the human ones, and it was unstoppable! I am never affected by monsters, but this one made me feel a little queasy, when it's smell was described. There was also a satisfying ending.
The narration was slow. So, I speeded it up to 140% and it was fine.

Very entertaining, couldn't put it down.

Really enjoyed it except for the occasional time thinking the writing was a small bit too simple and wanted more detail. Honestly recommended to anyone interested in science fiction and military.

Entertaining and gripping

I enjoyed this but not as much as the first book. It was entertaining but I missed not having as many creatures. Im just going to download book 3!

Gripping and exciting

Another great listen from author Greig Beck. Gripping story line which frequently has you on the edge of your seat. The only downside is the long, rambling and (sorry Greig) frankly boring introduction from the author. Perhaps you could shorten your intro and keep it to the essentials? Otherwise I loved this book and look forward to the next in the series.
