Dark Rising audiobook – Alex Hunter, Book 2

In the heart of a scorching desert, as the sun beat down relentlessly, I found myself captivated by the thrilling world of Dark Rising audiobook by Greig Beck. The setting couldn’t have been more different from its predecessor, taking us from the icy caves of Antarctica to the deserts of Iran. It was a refreshing change that added a new layer of excitement to the story.

The anticipation for this second installment in the series was high, as fans eagerly awaited another mission featuring the enigmatic protagonist, Alex Hunter. As the squad arrived at the scene of a massive burst of radiation in Persepolis, they were faced with an eerie mystery. Iranian soldiers were being killed in inexplicable ways, their bodies drained with no trace left behind. Alex’s focus remained on the black hole that had seemingly wiped out everything in its path. Could it have unleashed a monstrous entity or something beyond their comprehension?

What sets this book apart is how it weaves together an ancient prophecy from Iranian folklore into the current adventure. The combination adds an extra layer of intrigue and depth to an already compelling plot. Just like in his Primordia series, Beck keeps readers on edge with constant development and non-stop action. There are no extensive romantic scenes here; it’s all about intense and dominating action that will keep you hooked.

Sean Mangan’s narration has also improved significantly in this second chapter, bringing back a strong sense of immersion and adding to the overall enjoyment of the audiobook.
