Cate Granger #3
Leviathan
Monsters are real.
Cate Granger and Jack Monroe are enjoying life far away from the deep-sea horrors of their past. But the ghosts still haunt them.
Russian billionaire and former friend, Sonya Borashev, tells them of a newly discovered cave in Antarctica that leads deep beneath the frozen continent. It's from these icy depths that Sonya believes a remnant species of megalodon shark has been set loose. And that these ancient monsters are not only alive but thriving.
With a recent spate of horrifying attacks, Sonya leads an expedition to put an end to the monsters for good. And she wants Cate and Jack with her - whether they like it or not.
But beneath the dark ice, they uncover things even deadlier, even more dangerous, than they could have ever imagined.
The final chilling book in the blockbuster Fathomless series delivers a terrifying roller-coaster ride of epic proportions.

I mean, it's not going to win a Pulitzer, but it was pretty entertaining. Some of the dialogue was over-written, but I think that's the nature of a book with some technical components.

The ending is bad
I loved the first two books in this trilogy so much I read them twice while anxiously awaiting the release of this one. Of the ones who lived and the ones who died, I am extremely disappointed. But I would still rate five stars if the ending didn't seem so rushed. It seems like the deadline for publishing came too soon or the author got bored with the story. Needless to say, this is a depressing note to end the trilogy on. I wanted my happy ending ...

One megalodon shark to its friend: Don’t eat the humans with those steel cylinders on their backs. They’ll give you epic gas!
A giant fishy chomps on anything and everything. Mr Beck loves retelling old classic stories and modernising, and dare I say, improving on them. This is his tribute to Moby Dick…who turns out to be not a whale at all. Yep, this is the souped-up, modernised, turbo-charged V8 version of Moby Dick. Herman Melville would hate it LOL! The tension is never-ending and it reminded me of the first time I read Jaws (back in the 70s).
The character’s names are interesting: Phil Silvers (McHale’s Navy) Chekov (Star Trek) I don’t know if that was on purpose or not, but I liked it. The ending was a wee bit shocking and in Game of Thrones tradition, not all the likeable characters survive, and some of the baddies live!
Well written and very well researched by an author who is obviously even more obsessed with prehistory than I am. Good job Mr Beck!

Absolutely loved it, great follow on from the previous books I like how other characters from a previous series were mentioned linking them all. Full of action, sap sucking monsters, obsessions, love & loss, this book has it all. I did yell Noooooo at one point.

I don’t know what to say about this one. I enjoyed it but was heartbreaking too. I’m not going to say anymore as I don’t want to spoil anything but once you’ve read it, you’ll understand my comments.
I also (a little gleefully) enjoyed the connections to two of the author’s Alex Hunter books.

After doing a reread of the first two books, I dove right into this one without even realizing it was a new book to end out the trilogy. Now though I have to admit I didn't love it as much as the other two and it ends in a shitty place, wish I'd just stopped after book 2. Honestly I'm kind of bummed I bothered with this one. Even though it was absolutely intense, nail biting and engrossing to the end, the actual ending and even epilogue really ruins it for me.

I usually give his books five stars. This time it was the ending. 😒

Der arme Autor scheint an Amnesie zu leiden, mit jedem neuen Teil vergisst er, dass er sich schon eine Geschichte ausgedacht hatte, woher die Megalodons kamen. Im ersten Teil eine Höhle unter Kanada, im zweiten Teil die Tiefen der Meere (Warum tauchten sie dann erst im zweiten Band im Meer auf, wenn sie die ganze Zeit schon dort lebten???), im dritten Band wieder in einer Höhle (diesmal in der Antarktis).
Es macht zwar Spaß zu lesen, aber man muss sich doch fragen, warum mit jedem Buch alles zurückgesetzt werden muss. Die Charaktere bleiben über die Bücher hinweg dieselben und entwickeln sich weiter, warum kann man dann nicht einen Erzählstrang über mehrere Teile verfolgen? Vor allem wenn am Ende jedes Buchs schon das Setup für den nächsten Teil gebracht wird, ist es unverständlich, warum es dann nicht weiter verfolgt wird.
Noch viel komischer finde ich, dass in diesem Teil, neben den sonst überall ausgestorbenen Tierarten - die ja irgendwo eine Daseinsberechtigung in einer seit Millionen von Jahren von der Außenwelt abgetrennten Höhle haben - nun auch ein nicht näher beschriebenes alienartiges Wesen, welches menschliche Körper mit seinem verschmelzen kann vorkommt? Es hätte so viele interessantere Lebewesen gegeben, die tatsächlich mal existiert haben. Warum dann zu so etwas billigem zurückgreifen?
Wenn ich übernatürlichen Horror will, dann suche ich mir ein passendes Buch dazu raus.
Wenn ich etwas zu prähistorischen Riesenhaien lesen will, dann sollte ich eigentlich bei diesem Buch richtig liegen.

Lots of big, creepy creatures eating people. I had lots of fun! 🤪 I enjoyed this way more than the other two, and I think it's because I ramped up the speed of the narration. It created more tension and made the book more exciting. A shame I didn't think to do it for the other two books. Oh well!

Leviathan by Greig Beck
🦈🦈🦈🦈
Sonya has discovered a new cave in Antarctica that she believes may hold the megaladon. She can’t stop hunting them until the last of the beasts that took her love from her are finally extinct. She launches an expedition to the end of the earth to ensure she gets what she wants.
This final book in the series is sure to keep you in the dark depths of the megs final hiding place. While I enjoyed this last installment, it didn’t quite have the grab of the first two but was a fitting end.

Greig Beck’s books are an instant read for me whenever they are published and this one is a shining example of why; dude is just fantastic. I think my first read from him was the Valkeryn Chronicles, not my usual fare, and his writing impressed me so much I started reading everything by him that was published. I’m my opinion, he truly excels at writing about prehistoric life though his Alex Hunter thrillers are quite good as well.
It’s been a while since I read the previous two books in the series but I was happy to see this one tying in nicely with new beasties and some old ones as well. Characterization was top notch as always and the scenes in the book were fantastically written. While this may be the end of this trilogy, I hope he revisits the area as it still has so much potential there.
As always, anxiously awaiting Mr Beck’s next novel and constantly recommending him to any fan of horror or thrillers as he’s one of the best right now.

I had been eagerly anticipating this book for quite a few years now, eagerly awaiting the continuation of the adventure after Abyss (book 2 in the series) was published five years ago. However, I must admit that my excitement was met with some disappointment.
I won't spoil anything major, but there are a few minor details that become apparent early on. The story mainly revolves around the protagonists' encounters with Russian adversaries rather than the megalodons, which were the highlight of the previous books. It was a bit frustrating to see the focus shift so heavily to the Russian poachers, relegating the magnificent megalodons to a side plot. The introduction of even bigger creatures as their new enemies reminded me of Steve Alten's books, where the authors tend to escalate to grander monsters, diverting from the original essence of the series.
Let me clarify that it's not a bad book per se, but I couldn't help but feel somewhat detached from the characters and the story. The pacing felt rushed towards the end, which is a recurring issue I've noticed in Greig Beck's writing, as also seen in the second book of the Journey to the Centre of the Earth trilogy.
Despite these criticisms, I still appreciate the effort and creativity that went into the book. Knowing that this is the last in the series brings a mix of emotions. While I enjoyed the read, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness that there won't be more adventures with the megalodons and the characters I've come to know.

This is a book riddled with references from previous books and larger lore of the world that Greig Beck has been building with each new book since “Beneath the Dark Ice� 13 years ago.
Lay this seems great we’re given a lot of grief threw the books has Male/Female chacthers from the previous 2 books have to grow threw Grieg has one more pulled into another chacthers fall into Captain Ahab syndrome. I’d hope we get a better semi-antongist bumptious e stead we get Sonya wich out of all the chacthers threw out Beck’s books she’s my least favorite and really did not like how her ending came along.
Spoiler
Ohh ya Greig there was one thing I didn’t really understand I get how Sonya and the Russians could avoid gov’t knowing what they up too, but why we know that the leaders of government or at least covert groups would’ve know of the underground world. That is why I cankt understand why 60 years later no tryed to stop thouse scientists open the cave on the news. I know this overthinking on my part but it still fills like a plot hole for this series ending.
Spoiler end.
In all this was a series ending for thouse who like there no bars hold tear bring has good chacthers meet the perpetrators abrupt ends. This lead to me now going to re-read “Beneath the Dark Ice� aging to really feel the impact of they’s events that were mentioned in this book series that has become that I can say has become the 3 part spiritual sequel to “Moby Dick� do I can a lot readers really wanted the sea couples to live till the end together.

I guess I have myself to blame for wasting time on this rubbish given that the previous book in the series, which I read quite a long time ago, was a letdown but then I am a sucker for giant monster horror stories.
This book is a continuation of the previous book and, unfortunately, the author screws it up in much the same way.
I wanted a book with suspense, with some gradual revelation of this underwater world and the many strange creatures living in it and a lot of wow revelations but he uses this more like a background than as a main plot element. Instead he drags in some Russian poachers and thus most of the book is spent on some ludicrous thug story instead of what could have been a cool huge monster story.
The fact that the author add something even bigger than the Megalodon is not enough to save this book and his amateur opinions about how “evolution� instead if changes in climate eliminated these animals is rather frustrating.
Also, the entire premise that an previously unknown biosphere would be found and then they just go on a rampage to kill these animals and destroy it is of course just ludicrous.
Another thing that really annoyed me was that again our “heroes� have these cool toys to play with and again the author renders them useless in short order early on with some unbelievably stupid plot twist.
So overall, although I have quite liked quite a few books from this author I think he goes on the black list for now.

Major SPOILERS�..
I devoured this through audible (Sean Mangan *chef kiss*).
I can’t decide if I want to give this a 4 or 3.5. Up until the last few chapters it was a thrilling and heart breaking read. Like I gasped when Jack was done in (EMOTIONAL DAMAGE) and I am now listening to the last book of the centre of the earth series and I just felt so sad when they mentioned he was the brother to Mike.
But putting aside questionable grief for a fictional character (I’ll be requesting a billing address for my next therapy session) this was a great choice for the final novel in a trilogy. It also seemed like this would be the moment that Cate would become the hero (as titular series character, she always felt very much in Jack’s shadow), or have a hero moment.
So much potential wasted for an obviously rushed ending. The potential to capitalize on jack’s death aside, the characters left on the underground land being stalked by a monstrosity in a cave, being picked off one by one into gruesome deaths. That should have been several chapters of fun claustrophobic horror, that would have had me asking ‘why I am reading this before I go to bed?� And the epilogue? When was the cave properly closed? When did cate warn them about reopening? Why was Sonia still there (and how did she not learn her lesson)?
So while this would have been an easy riveting five stars for with emotional gut punch that has the staying power hot wax spilt on carpet, this feels like a 3.5-4 star ending because my memories are tainted by the feeling of ‘that’s it?� REALLY?!

Audible Audiobook.
Cate Granger's grandfather disappeared before she was born. While exploring a cave in Alaska, he discovered local lore and myths were true, that the cave harbored prehistoric behemoths - giants of the ancient world long believed to be extinct. Think shark teeth ten inches long, sperm whales with a calf the size of a bus, or Volkswagen-sized snails, spiders, and other yukky beasts—Jules Verne-on-steroids stuff.
Cate's explorations eventually involve a team of professionals, including a wealthy eccentric, and there are Russian bad guys, of course. The imaginative high-tech science of submarines, smaller submersibles, sophisticated research vessels, etc., all come into play through the three novels with good guys, bad guys, and creatures big enough to use an ocean liner as a toothpick.
No sex, no objectionable language - a bit grizzly at times, page-turning adventures. Narration is okay, nothing special. Production is fine but slow - had to bump the speed to 1.8 on the iPhone.
Written by Greig Beck, all novels are narrated by Sean Mangan and total over 40 of listening in unabridged audiobook format, released from 2016-23 by Bolinda Publishing.

This is an absolute, must-read final in the Cate Granger trilogy. My goodness, was this a gripping read! I loved every page. The suspense is never-ending, the action, adventure, and the explosive nature of the monsters, all of which make for a captivating read. There are so many emotions that come through like a tidal wave and that ending! I loved the references to other books, both the authors own and other classic characters, if you've read his previous works you will understand the magnitude of peril these characters face but whether you've read other series or not I highly recommend this trilogy. The characters are phenomenal. The setting is just so perfectly dangerous, and how everything is described makes you feel the chill just as much as the characters. I cannot wait for more from the author from his other series.

Spoiler-ish alert!
The story was okay but the ending was pretty rough. I still love Beck’s work, but this was a generous two stars for me. There wasn’t anything new here. It was essentially a repeat of the last two books with a few new critters and characters. Nice tie-ins to some other Beck stories (Arcadian). I did enjoy that crossover, but even that was meager and didn’t exactly leave me wanting more. This story could have been told in a third of the pages, and the ending essentially re-did the previous 20 chapters in a few pages.
Also, I abhor Sean Mangin (the audible narrator for all of Beck’s work). He pronounces words multiple ways at random times in an utterly nonsensical matter. Beck’s stories would instantly gain a star if someone like RC Bray read them.

Not Greig s best.
I just found this to be too much of the previous books. Greig writes good descriptive scenes that lets him paint a vivid picture of the story but I came away a bit disappointed. Apart from finding the Megladon's underwater home, the action was pretty much the same as the previous two books. Big shark eats people. People in shops try to catch kill /shark. Shark sinks ships and eats people? I appreciate whales could sink wooden ships but seriously doubt even a big shark could sink a steel hulled ship. Try a new scenario Greig. This one is played out.

This final book in the series is sure to keep you in the deep dark depths of the megalodon final hiding place.
Sonya has discovered a new cave in Antarctica that she believes may hold the megalodon. She launches an expedition to the end of the earth to ensure she gets what she wants, but also a Russian Whaling ship is on the same path with a bad ass captain. Sonya takes Cate and Jack on the ride by force the characters follow on from the last two books.
Well written and very well researched by an author who is obviously even more obsessed with prehistory creatures of the deep.

Jaws, Jurassic Park, and The Cave all at once
As someone who is terrified of deep water and sharks, this book was horrifying. Getting trapped in a cave under Antarctica with a 75 shark hunting you is pure nightmare fuel. I loved all the little references to the Alex Hunter books. I knew what was coming but it was still great reading as the characters walked to their doom

Hell Has No Fury Like a Leviathan
This is the fourth book in the series and I hate for it to end. Or, is it the end? Have you ever considered that Antarctica could have a warm climate underneath its
frozen, snowy exterior? This book is a mystical read into the past of Leviathans and primordial creatures.

Not as good as the first and there are too many charecters. I took notes to keep them straight. Lots of suspense, tragedy and a somewhat unexpected ending. The segue of the group wandering through the cave system was a bit hard to believe, but after all, this is fiction and the writer also writes some other Sci Fi books.

Just finished this third in the series. It's not often I'd describe a book as edge of your seat reading, but this one was. And I finished in double time as it needed to be read fast to keep up with the action. Toward the end it really ramped up and I was completely wrong with how I thought it would end. Left me a bit bereft but also a change from the usual epilogue in most books.

Okay - let's leave WA out of these shark books; like I'm paranoid enough as is. At least there were no cephalopods in this one...

Beck never disappoints!
As always, Beck keeps you on the edge right to the very last word. My only complaint about all of his books is they're very fast reads. I often devour them in a single read. Nothing else gets done until the book is finished. Great storytelling!

Unto Leviathan
A good ending to the trilogy. I would love to see another chapter perhaps set in the future where past meets technology and war is truly waged but on a different stage. Thanks Mr B. Looking forward as usual to your next book.

Another masterpiece from Greig Beck, I just can't put his books down and this one is no different. The action is breathtaking, you feel you're actually watching it unfold, I also learn a lot about dinosaurs and how they lived along the way. A thoroughly good read.

Great book
Although this was a continuing story it was another great book. Full of action, suspense and lots of gore. I was disappointed in the ending, but I like everybody goes home type. But still a great ending. I recommend reading this series to all fiction lovers.

Amazing
I loved the educational vale of not only evolutionary history but the biology of sea creatures that possibly became us. The human and creature thoughts were spot on. FANTASTIC!
