Summary
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.

Great premise
really enjoyed the update on the Joules Verne storyline. The enemies sounded really terrifying and not something you would want to see!

Excellent story
Another excellent story as from Greig Beck, well read by Sean Mangan. From the start to finish there is lots of action. Very enjoyable, well recommended.

Really good
I'm a 30 year old woman and I really enjoyed it. It's an easy listen but well written and I liked the narrator.

Great monsters and creatures. Dumb humans.
A group of cave divers find out about a cave that could go to the center of the earth, they get warned not to as it's hell. They go and (pikachu surprised face) are surprised that it turns out to be hell.
I really like Greig as a horror writer more for his creature creations and details of deaths and destruction. However, the man wrote some of the most boring characters I've ever read in this book. I honestly lost track of who was still around at the end as they were all boring idiots.
Read for the creatures, monsters, and world-building. Slightly hate it for the dumbshit people who go there

Not bad, but lazy writing
I kept going with this book despite it being derivative, repetitive and lacking even basic research. The narrator doesn't have a bad voice but doesn't differentiate between the characters with his voice - which gets a bit confusing at times. He also occasionally sounds like he's had one drink too many before starting to narrate. I've noticed this on other titles too.
The earth has a diameter of almost 8,000 miles so descending to 7,000 miles to the centre is a bit difficult. The repetition of this error throughout the story became a bit irritating.
Still, it passed some time for me.

H.P Lovecraft meets Jules Verne
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.

Solid story
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

Not a bad sci-fi
I gotta say, I can see this as a movie. It's not bad at all considering the premise of the story.
