About this listen

With the creation of an unholy beast comes the end of the world in this diabolical thriller from the international best-selling author of Crux and Hunter.

On an Icelandic island, an illegal experiment intended to create the perfect biological weapon has transformed a once-innocent creature into the biblical Leviathan that once terrorized the world. Able to shatter steel and granite as easily as it can melt the strongest containment shields, Leviathan escapes from its pen and is loose in a vast underground chamber harboring soldiers and scientists. The installation cannot allow Leviathan to reach the surface. For if Leviathan reaches the world, it could well be the end of the Earth. They must hold the line, here, and destroy it...even if they must detonate a last-chance nuclear failsafe built into the chamber itself.

But, first, they must fight with every weapon at their disposal to discover if the beast can be killed at all. It is a battle many will not survive. As soldiers and scientists are vaporized by Leviathan’s hellish flame, or ripped apart by the dragon’s claws and fangs, a lone electrical engineer is forced to join the fight. And in the midst of what might well be the last battle for mankind, Connor must find a way - any way - to save his family and kill this powerful, bloodthirsty beast of legend that has never been killed before. Before it feasts upon the world.

OK, the premise of this book is almost absurd. The government is funding what as a weapon??

Once you get past that and put it firmly on ignore you can't help but get interested in the story and its non-stop action.

My only complaint might be it gets a little long winded at times, but the narrator keep you interested and I never wanted to stop listening.

Huggins makes the ridiculous seem credible.

I loved Hunter by the same author. This book was not nearly so polished as that. Many times the wording felt redundant and unnecessary. I feel like with some editing this could have been great. The book had the same things over and over and worded almost exactly the same. Yet in other spots, there seemed to be data missing. It felt choppy as a result.

The story was interesting and the creature scary enough. The people were intriguing. I enjoyed it. The language was fairly clean. For me it was just good enough for a credit but I am sure some would feel otherwise.

Not as good as Hunter

I have listened to all the other Huggins audios and frankly thought this one might disappoint as the plot seemed a little far fetched. Still in this one he does a much better job than his usual in getting you to really like and understand the characters. You actually want them to win, not just expect them to.

As with all his books, the action is exciting, the science seems plausible, and the finish is satisfying.

This might actually end up as my favorite so far.

This one is different
