Story
Carved into a moving island of ice twice the size of the United States, Ice Station Grendel has been abandoned for more than 70 years. The twisted brainchild of the finest minds of the former Soviet Union, it was designed to be inaccessible and virtually invisible. But an American undersea research vessel has inadvertently pulled too close - and something has been sighted moving inside the allegedly deserted facility, something whose survival defies every natural law.

Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with a proposal for an excavation - and a hefty donation. Hoping to bring welcome publicity to the privatized space travel industry, he wants to finance a careful, scientific archaeological excavation of the 1947 Roswell Incident site. The Institute agrees and Nora Kelly, much to her annoyance, is tasked with the job. Instead of the evidence of a crashed UFO, Nora's excavation immediately uncovers two unknown murder victims buried at the site.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Rollins Just Beginning to Hit His Stride ...
If you are looking for lyrical, beautiful writing, then you should skip James Rollins: He is no James Lee Burke or Cormac McCarthy. If you are looking for realistic believability, then you should skip James Rollins: He will 𝑎𝘭𝘸𝑎𝘺𝘴 stretch your suspension-of-disbelief capacity to its breaking point. There. Now, if you still have some curiosity about "Deep Fathom," read on ... because it just might justify your spending a credit.
This third Rollins thriller pushes credibility to the limit, same as its predecessors do. However, if you listen without judging, you will see that Rollins has done his research before commencing his wild conjecturing ... and Rollins has the intelligence to research thoroughly and conjecture (just barely) plausibly. I think that, when we close our minds to wild possibilities -- believing that we already know how the world works -- then we also close ourselves from understanding and joy. Just think about some of the completely unbelievable discoveries of quantum physics -- the "cloud" of probability, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, quantum entanglement, the puzzling dual nature of light -- they all surpass our understanding -- toppling Newtonian physics to its foundations -- yet still stand up to mathematical rigor. Rollins investigates these ideas that go beyond our minds' boundaries, and uses them to craft near-fantasy thrillers. In so doing, he exhibits his true genius: imagination.
With "Deep Fathom," Rollins explores the mysterious realms of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, applying them to South Pacific legends of a lost continent and a "Bermuda Triangle" antipode. Far-fetched, eh? Maybe so; but, on the other hand ... his conjectures do explain the mysterious, real-life pattern of ship disappearances in the South Pacific ....
As for this audiobook's reader, John Meagher, I don't quite understand some other reviewers' strong antipathy for him. Yes, he has a slightly reedy, tenor voice -- not our ideal masculine baritone, and, perhaps, not the ideal voice for these thriller novels -- but, at least, Meagher doesn't speak nasally (which annoys 𝘮𝘦); and he has pretty good acting chops. Contrary to other reviewers' assertions, I find that he does a reasonably good job of distinguishing the characters' voices. I suggest listening to the sample that Audible provides, since people have such different voice-preferences. If you don't mind Meagher's voice, and don't mind a bit of wild imagination, then take a chance with this audiobook. It shows a now-famous author just beginning to hit his stride.

My Favorite author of all time!
I had read this book back in 2002 and I got me hook on James Rollins. I have either read or listened to all of his books and I'm working thru his fantasy books under the name of James Clemens.
Deep Fathom, like all of Rollins books' is filled with such detail that you can see everything in your mind's eye. The characters become clear and vivid, you can relate to them. Most of all, none of Rollins books, especially this one, ever get boring. It is like riding a roller coaster, every time you think it is going to slow down, your back at the top, holding on for the ride.
Enjoy all of Rollins books. Deep Fathom is a great place to start becoming a fan.

Any additional comments?
I liked this book because it is fiction. The obviously impossible deeds of the hero/heroes made this entertaining and a great listen. Anyone who must have a 100% factually true fictional book is looking to the wrong genre IMHO. I enjoyed this book.

Narrator's voice is tedium personified
Horrible, horrible, narration. The kind of narration you might expect from a first time reader, who was given absolutely no direction whatever, and who was in a real hurry to finish the recording....and who didn't understand that the voices of the 7 or eight main characters should be distinct from one another, or understand that the female voices don't have to sound as though they are mentally challenged, and who understands that there should be dynamics in the volume of his voice, or any of the things that a director should have coached him on. The voice was a meager attempt, at best, and fittingly, the last name of the narrator is "Meagher"... I hate being so mean, but I can't even rate the book itself, because I can't bring myself to finish listening. I just can't stand it.

STOP with the 4 or 5 star ratings!!
Really? You really think this is a 4 or 5 star book!? I have read almost all of Czajkowskis (ne. Rollins) books. Some are GREAT this one is not. The bad Navy SEAL is worse than a comic book villian, and the fact that a crystal pillar and its worshiping civilization have gone undetected for all history, until now, ie. all through WW2, etc. is kooky. Some of the characters are either bad sterotypes or cartoonish. Like the native that helps the group, "me help, you go now, you here too long, you go", jesus. Compared to say Amazonia, this book is long, silly, nutty and kooky. No problem with narration. If the narrarator is bad I don't care anyway.

The story was good, but....
So much cursing, using God's name as curse words, it all was to much and ruined any enjoyment from the story, and from the reader whom I liked very much. I was excited, thinking I can listen to James Rollins and have books writen in the same genre as Clive Cussler. So let down. :(
