Publisher's summary

A modern retelling of Jules Verne's high-seas adventure, with an exiled captain using an illicit submarine for smuggling, discovering riches, and revenge.

When a US expedition is attacked, three survivors—a professor, her student and a soldier—are saved by a mysterious vessel, the Naumtsev. The enigmatic Captain Nikto elects to keep the captives aboard, requiring each of their skills for his daring pursuits. But as evidence of a rogue submarine alerts the world's navies, the captives must work together to avoid annihilation.

A fast-paced adventure-thriller that's described as, "the classic Disney adventure meets The Hunt for Red October."

The twists don't stop at the title, exciting pace

I wasn't sure what to expect since my experience with other retellings have been varied. This story captured the marvel and wonder of exploring ocean depths while maintaining a tense atmosphere of trust and betrayal in modern times. The main characters are well defined but their reactions to immediate events keep the listener guessing as to the outcome. I appreciated the pacing of the story and felt the ever-looming descent toward closure was appropriately navigated. The narration was absolutely fantastic, capturing all the chaotic and majestic scenes amongst the varied accents and genders so perfectly. [Disclosure: I received this title for free, and I listen at 1.7-1.8x speed]
