Earthcore

By: Scott Sigler

Narrated by: Ray Porter

Deep below a desolate Utah mountain lies the largest platinum deposit ever discovered. A billion-dollar find, it waits for any company that can drill a world's record, three-mile-deep mine shaft. EarthCore is the company with the technology, the resources, and the guts to go after the mother lode. Young executive Connell Kirkland is the company's driving force, pushing himself and those around him to uncover the massive treasure. But at three miles below the surface, where the rocks are so hot they burn bare skin, something has been waiting for centuries. Waiting...and guarding. Kirkland and EarthCore are about to find out first-hand why this treasure has never been unearthed.

Hard to empathize with any character.

Would you try another book from Scott Sigler and/or Ray Porter?

Of course. Ray Porter never disappoints and maybe next time Scott Sigler would include some main characters that I would give a damn about.

What did you like best about this story?

The overall concept of aliens coming to earth for refuge.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the mountain was destroyed. Thank god it's done.

Was Earthcore worth the listening time?

Yes and No. Yes because the story was interesting, but no because I disliked the characters so very much, that I really could not care how the book ended or what happened to any of them.

Any additional comments?

Good enough to keep me listening. But, one by one I kept hoping one character after another would die is some horrible way. With the exception of one or two minor characters they were people I would not want in my life. Self absorbed selfish, criminals, bullies and psychopaths.

A thrilling ride to the underground.

Great story and narration. Not the hard science novel I was looking for but the pacing of the journey into the earth and cast of characters was interesting enough to get me to the end with a satisfied feeling.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE FROM SCOTT SIGLER!

I've been a huge fan of Scott since Infected, and I'm always waiting for his next novel to come out! Earthcore ran deep with the storyline, giving enough of each character to find out which ones you'd stick with to the end. It had action, a little bit of romance, and of course sci-fi fun and brutality! If you've enjoyed his previous works this is another one you need to get!

Loved it

I listened to Earthcaore as a free podcast , and because I loved it so much I bought it anyway. I very much enjoy Scott Sigler's books. I am also buy all of them on audio and when they first come out I buy a numbered, signed hard back. I highly recommend all of Scott Sigler's books.

And another one!

What's not in this story? Greed, familial love, lust for power and knowledge. And then after all of that, an alien race, that's not taking names. This Junkie was sated!!
