EarthCore by Scott Sigler
*An Audiobook Review 
So years and years and years ago, I found Scott Sigler on an iBooks podcast. I hadn't been familiar with podcasts back then, but he was different the rest. many were boring with tons of static. Sigler's channel wasn't jibber jabber; he told stories. That's where I'd originally heard him read Earthchore. This is a freaking awesome story! So when I saw he'd made it into an audiobook, all the chapters in one place and at one time, I knew I needed it in my library. But Scott wasn't the narrator!! #element-aa02db74-21b7-4552-acfc-7a244c9d2eb3 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
The story is set in Utah, a place you don't expect to find monsters. Highon the Wah Wah Mountains there's billions of dollars in platinum. Should be an easy extraction job, but something's up there, on what's been dubbed Funeral Mountain. Something very old, efficient and vicious.
When a prospector's claim is jumped, he's given an offer he can't refuse. But is the money worth it? Historic discoveries are made, an ancient race is uncovered, and many lives are lost.
EarthCore, by Scott Sigler, is science fiction, archeology, history, science, thriller, suspense and even horror! Yes, it's all wrapped up in a tiny, shiny little monster that you can not escape from. Especially when you're trapped, miles beneath the earth's surface.
I've always loved this story, but when I first listened to it, it was as a podcast and I wasn't reviewing. I'm happy to have picked this one back up. It's an excellent read and so different from other authors and their work. Sigler has a style that's unmatched. He's a genre all his own.
Check it out if you can. Cheers!
