About this listen

One of the greatest breakthroughs in human history. A secret that was never supposed to be found. And a crisis that cannot be stopped.

Deep in the Caribbean Sea, a nuclear submarine is forced to suddenly abort its mission under mysterious circumstances. Strange facts begin to emerge that lead naval investigator John Clay to a small group of marine biologists who are quietly on the verge of making history.

With the help of a powerful computer system, Alison Shaw and her team are preparing to translate the first two-way conversation with the planet's second smartest species. But the team discovers much more from their dolphins than they ever expected when a secret object is revealed on the ocean floor. One that was never supposed to be found.

Alison was sure she would never trust the military again. However, when an unknown group immediately becomes interested in her work, Alison realizes John Clay may be the only person she can trust. Together, they must piece together a dangerous puzzle, and the most frightening piece is the trembling in Antarctica.

To make matters worse, someone from the inside is trying to stop them. Now, time is running out...and our understanding of the world is about to change forever.

Dolphin Speak

A little slow starting but picked up a quarter the way along. I felt myself wanting to smack one of the presidents men and tell him what an idiot he was. I thought it was great the way a programme was invented to talk to two dolphins in captivity who were pressed into service by the nasty man in the white house. The book is mostly thriller with some Science Fiction thrown in. Not nail biting but very enjoyable.

Well worth a listen

A bit of a change from my usual listening but overall a good story, good characters and good narration. Ending felt a little rushed but still enjoyable and will be looking out for other books from author.

Really cool storyline and written well

I was struggling to get into any new books, then found this gem! Got me interested after about 20 mins and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great plot!

very glad I listened to this

this book was a n easy listen. the story is believable, the characters do not seem made up and the pace is spot on. I was always anticipating rhe next move. I would highly recommend. a little rushed at the end but not enough to spoil it. would love to have follow up novels to this.
the narration was first class.

I couldn't stop listening!

A great read, with lots of thrilling plot twists and intelligent characterisation. The ending, or the beginning of the ending, was not what I expected.
