About this listen

Down there, beyond the deepest caves, below the crust and the mantle, there is another world. An old woman locked away in a Russian asylum has a secret - knowledge of a 500-year-old manuscript written by a long-dead alchemist that will show a passage to the mythical centre of the Earth.

She knows it’s real because 50 years ago, she and a team travelled there. And only she made it back.

Today, caving specialist Mike Monroe leads a crew into the world’s deepest cave in the former Soviet Union. He’s following the path of a mad woman and the words of an ancient Russian alchemist that were the basis of the fantastical tale by Jules Verne. But what horrifying things he finds will tear at his sanity and change everything we know about evolution and the world, forever.

Fine enough. Can't grumble about the performance at all. Story is good and enjoyable. Journey to the centre of the earth? It's a classic. My only hang up is how daft some of the characters' decisions are - BUT! Maybe that's just me being conservative

A nice adventure story about the hollow Earth theory. A team sets out to explore deep caves but the hardships of spelunking is but a start. Going deep they find a whole new world at the center of the Earth filled with wonders but also horror. It’s not the most original story but I’m a fan of monster stories and I quite enjoyed it. There are some Lovecraftian elements mixed in but not exactly copied. The only thing I dislike is the narrator. There’s hardly any nuance and he speaks with the same tone/melody regardless of the situation. That said I still ploughed through all three books despite the bad narration so that says something about the book itself.

I was not expecting the contents of this book at all.

completely different story to the one I grew up with.

some of the decisions taken by the characters where so obviously stupid, I can't imagine anyone in real life making them.

but it's only the first book. with more to come, hopefully things will only get better

modern retelling of a classic
