Publisher's Summary
Mike Monroe and Jane Baxter barely survived their terrifying journey to the centre of the Earth. But a burning curiosity still tormented them about the origins of the pale creatures in the stygian darkness of the caves, and why were their dreams also haunted by something huge and monstrous that seemed as old as time itself?
Now, news of a Russian military expedition has forced their hands and also meant they must go back to a place they swore they’d never return. But this time they’re going with a team of highly skilled mercenaries and scientists to help them track the Russians and also help unlock the secrets hidden at the centre of the planet.
But what they find is something that evolution created in an environment vastly different to that of the benign world of the surface. And something that waits eagerly for their return.

Most of the stars are for Sean Mangan.
Most of the stars are for Sean Mangan. I admire authors cheeky enough to keep writing the same story, like Edgar Rice Burroughs and P. G. Wodehouse, but it only works with good writing and engaging characters. I look forward to reading Beck’s books and til now have pre-ordered them, but the last few have been disappointing. Mike and Jane are as dull as a couple of boiled eggs, surrounded by cardboard cut-outs, and the dialogue is generally tedious. There is one obnoxious character, but there’s way too much of him, which made reading annoying, like being stuck on a very long trip with someone you can’t get away from. There were no other characters to balance him out or to take an interest in. I struggled to finish this one.

Lacking in many ways
not as good as the first, lacking mystery and depth. a repeatable recipe that gets old quick.
