It lurks.

Deep beneath the ice of the Arctic Circle, something has awakened. A primordial creature frozen in time, it is the oldest, largest, most efficient predator that nature has ever produced. And it is ravenously hungry....

It hunts.

Thirty-five miles off the Massachusetts coast, a small research ship is attacked. All but one of its crew is killed by the massive serpentine horror that rises from the sea. The creature likes this human prey. The chewy outer hide. The tender saltiness within. And it wants more....

It feeds.

Responding to a distress signal, fishing-boat captain Brian Hawkins arrives in time to save the ship’s last survivor. But the nightmare is just beginning. A casino cruise ship carrying high-stakes passengers — and a top-secret cargo — becomes the creature’s bloodsoaked hunting ground. Desperate but determined, Hawkins goes after the biggest catch of the century.

Good Dramatized Sea Monster Story

Overall I would really recommend Devour. I found the story to be fun and really engaged the listener. I liked most of the characters in this one. The creature was of course great and terrifying and deadly. I thought the cast did a phenomenal job at performing this story. Also that they really brought it to life.

So much action

Right from the start it was intense and had lots of action. Love the acting

All the action and suspense you can have in a book

The story was enjoyable. I lost some action that’s suspense and it was great. It was a great read.

Cheesy Monster Movie Fun

No, this isn't Shakespeare, Tolstoy, or Homer. Heck, it isn't even King, Barker, or Koontz. What it is is a fun combination of a killer monster flick, a disaster movie, and a mafia thriller. The production values are very good and the plot has some thrilling moments, though I did notice some large gaps in the action where things seem to have happened without us, the listeners, being there. Lots of ridiculous things occur, but if you just roll with it the way you would a B movie, you'll have fun. Best of all, there's a satisfying ending.

Fantastic!

Loved this one. I only had 1 issue and that was 2 of the performers sounded like the same guy. Anyways, get this one.
