Under 30,000 feet of water, the experimental exploration rig Leaguer has discovered an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia, with oil so sweet and pure, nations would go to war for the rights to it.
But as the team starts drilling exploration well after exploration well in their race to claim the sweet crude, a deep rumbling beneath the ocean floor shakes them all to their core. Something has been living in the oil, and it's about to give birth to the greatest threat humanity has ever seen.
The first book in Paul E Cooley's Parsec Award-winning series, The Black is a suspenseful thriller that puts the horror and action of movies such as Leviathan and Carpenter's The Thing right into listeners' hands.
This second edition includes a completely revised text.

The story was interesting, and that something foreign, alien lived beneath the crust of our planet. It was haunting, and it was creepy, but the story was not told well. The execution was lost in repetition that just blew me away. Also, it bothered me how one minute everything this creature touched, dissolved, yet it could grow legs and walk without destroying anything . Actually, making everything look better because it was stripping down to bare metal so it was like chromed out lol.
Also, the story took so long to become engaging. I understand the need to describe the job, and to get us to find interest in the characters, but the technicality of everything just bothered me to no end. I can’t remember how long the story is, but if there was a six hour run time then The action didn’t get good until like hour 3 1/2.
I decided to not read the other book. Cheers!

No buildup or true terror — just flat storytelling and resolution.
Decent concept, well performed.

I envisioned this as a movie easily and tried to imagine the horror that was taking place in each scene. Listening to Joe Hempel’s voice acting talents made it very easy. Hence the chills this book gave me.
Well done everyone!
I highly recommend this book.

Joe Hempel is an excellent narrator. His performance for both male and female was well done. He kept me engaged in the full book as I believe I would have skipped over parts of the book without his narration. I would have missed details if that had happened. His emotional performance had the audiobook rolling like a movie in my head, especially once the action started.

If this was a regular ebook, I don't know if I would have made it all the way through and if I did, It would have taken me forever. But the audio defiantly made it more palatable for me. The whole audio was put together very well.
This was a Pink Flamingo Production. And I am part of the VIP review team. (I just couldn't get this one assigned to me for some reason so I bought it that way I wouldn't be lost of book two, which I did get sent. I think I have a second one coming up with that problem)
Totally Enjoyable
