Resumen del Editor

Some things are meant to remain in the past.

Dr. Hugh Meyer believed he had created the ultimate miracle. Using the DNA of ancient creatures preserved in the Arctic, he had genetically engineered one of the most remarkable species of sea creature to ever exist: Serpentem Vectem Cel—Serpent Eel. Believed to possess the cure for countless diseases, the creature holds great promise for the medical community.

All goes awry when the beast escapes containment. With a rapid growth rate and remarkable physical evolution, the beast travels to the coastal town of Spiral Bay. There, the creature designed to save human life instead starts taking it.

Fishing vessels are found wrecked, paddleboaters mysteriously disappear, and large whales turn up dead. Realizing his creation has become Mankind's worst nightmare, Hugh Meyer must join forces with the local police chief, a skillful mechanic, and a rich reality show star to bring the Serpent's rampage to a dead halt.

Meh

Kind of sophomoric. Relationship stuff was like high school drama. Creature is ridiculously overpowered. I should’ve passed on this one

A nice mix of terror and likeable characters

I was surprised how much I liked the human cast, they're very nuanced and easy to root for. The serpent was great as well, very gross, but unique. It's nice to see something besides another shark attack novel.

Suspense filled fun!

A little difficult to suspend disbelief at times, but it’s a monster story, just go with it and enjoy!😜

Gory and I liked it

Performance was great. Was very gory but isn’t that why we buy these books? The author managed to avoid some annoying horror tropes and I really appreciated that.

Thrilling ride

This reminds me of the classic monster movies with a lot more action. You will not want to put this down.

He did it again!

Wow. Another five star book we couldn’t stop listening to! Finished it in one day - 11 hours! Shared my earbuds with my husband so we could do things around the house while we listened to this nonstop suspenseful tale. It cracks me up that a book can make me cringe, gasp, yell and make my heart race. I just wish Mr Cole’s books would turn into movies. Thanks for another fantastic storyline Michael - can’t wait for the next one!

Just fantastic!

I could not like this book more !! From the great characters , to the story , to the narrator!
Excellent , Exciting book ! I think its one of my favorites!

Not Bad…

…for what it was. Light listen monster story with cute background story. Lots of blood, some gore, good portrayal of typical town idiots with contempt for authority who pay dearly for their own stupidity. Not my favorite genre, but surprisingly well done for this particular category.

Fun story!

I love creature features and this was a good one. Helicoprion was good one too.

Pretty Fun

I think the serpent action was pretty much on par. You could just imagine it by listening. However the town folks made it feel weak like a cheap tv movie instead of a big blockbuster production by the way it was written and or read. I’m inclined to think both.

To the audio producers:
I strongly recommend getting a female to do female voices rather than do a female imitation. Or just don’t imitate at all.

While the main vocals were good, others - not so much. It wouldn’t hurt to include water splashing sounds, engines noises etc to make it more immersive.
