About this audiobook

From the acclaimed author of The Troop—a book that is “utterly terrifying” (Clive Barker). “Fans of unflinching bleakness and all-out horror will love this novel….Each new shock is freshly disturbing” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

A strange plague called the ‘Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things, like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure.

But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But when the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

The opening chapters had me interested, and then the story devolves into a mess that just doesn't make much sense. The narrator's monotone delivery didn't help, but even the best narrators couldn't help this story.

Mostly strong story, starts to get nonsensical towards the end. Almost like the author couldn't think up an ending. Overall really interesting plot and well done narration that makes you space out and just *think*. Ending is really my only complaint.

This is an excellent story that imparts an unrelenting feeling of dread. The narrator really excels in making the listener feel anxious, and terrified. He was able to convey the terror the protagonist feels and transfer it to the listener.
