The Secret Beneath the Ice


Read by Andrew M. Crusoe

(3.5 stars; 27 reviews)

When a thoughtship and its pilot finally reach Avani, the shimmering gem of the western spiral arm, they barely have a chance to marvel at its sapphire forests before they are ambushed by a mysterious enemy far beyond their understanding.

In the midst of the attack, a fragment is sliced off of the ship causing them to tumble out of control, down to the planet's surface. An ice-covered continent to the south is the only viable landing site, and what hides beneath may give them the chance to escape before isolation drives them mad.

This short story is a prequel to the THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY, available now at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AN2YEKM/

Very disappointed to see an audio book site being exploited by such a boring trailer as this. The story is less than a preface to a book and is only intended as an advert to other full work Given how bad and predictable the "story line" was i doubt it ...

I enjoyed this short, but compelling SF audiobook, and prelude to the book, The Truth Beyond the Sky. I've since read the book and look forward to listening to the full audiobook Mr. Crusoe released recently. I noticed a negative review by Mr. Public, and don't quite see where he's ...

this audio "book" is an introduction to a story. it is not the story. It is disingenuous to call this an audio book.
