Publisher's Summary

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.

Left a lot to be desired

enjoyable listen but I did find myself wishing for more horror elements, and an overall scarier monster. I also felt the book was a bit slow to start and then suddenly everything was over. Pacing needed more work and I would have appreciated getting to know more characters more.

overall 3.5/5
