    About this audiobook

    In the near future, political tensions between the United States and China are at an all-time high. Then a catastrophic explosion on the moon cleaves a vast gash in the lunar surface, and the massive electromagnetic pulse it unleashes obliterates Earth’s electrical infrastructure. To plumb the depths of the newly created lunar fissure and excavate the source of the power surge, the feuding nations are forced to cooperate on a high-risk mission to return mankind to the moon.

    Now, a diverse, highly skilled ensemble of astronauts—and a pair of maverick archaeologists plucked from the Peruvian jungle—will brave conspiracy on Earth and disaster in space to make a shocking discovery.

    Ocean of Storms is an epic adventure that spans space and time as its heroes race to fulfill an ancient mission that may change the course of humanity’s future.

      Ocean of Stomrs is set in a near future with tensions between China and America escalating when the entire world is affected by a massive EMP from the moon. What is on the moon capable of sending an EMP? China and the US race to get to the moon, but they each have major setbacks. A group is working behind the scenes to stop anyone from reaching the moon, but who and why? Part science fiction and part adventure, the story was intriguing and enjoyable.

      I enjoyed this book greatly. But it kinda faded at the end. There was no real climax. But it had lots of interesting ideas. The storyline followed the direction I wanted it to go. It just felt like the characters dropped the storyline at the end and the story finished abruptly leaving me wanting so much more.

      Technical errors and bad character development? Let me count the ways.

      I am a fan of old-fashioned early and mid-twentieth century science fiction. In fact, I also love the science fiction that was generated in the nineteenth century as well; I believe this is called Steampunk today. While I was growing up, it was simply considered a classic genre of literature. The reason I hark back to that time era is because science didn't overwhelm the plot and the characterization of the protagonists and antagonists. Subplots and supporting characters were not overtaken by the glitz and glitter of modern technology. They were simply an element of good story telling. I have since lost interest in the current run of sci fi trends. I rarely read any book of that genre. Technological glitz tends to become outdated too quickly for readers not to get distracted by what's considered old news. I empathize with authors of that genre trying to please all schools of thought. It's difficult to hold a reader's interest. Maintaining a good balance is key. Only once in a rare while does a book appear that manages to hold up to the ideals of literature with science at it's core. I believe Ocean of Storms has successfully crossed this invisible barrier.In my opinion, Ocean of Storms is an instant classic. It has everything it needs to qualify it as an adventure: solid storytelling, development of suspense, a twist on a classic theme, drama with well developed characters, international intrigue, traitors, greed, mystery and more. It is a fast-paced complex tale that does not get so overly tangled that the reader gets lost in too many heads. The story begins when an EM pulse knocks out communications over the entire planet, setting governments scrambling to gain control over panicking and perturbed citizens. When the source of the pulse was pinpointed to the moon, an immediate second space race ensues. Which country would arrive on the moon first? What the mission discovers in the deep cavern becomes an unexpected twist to a classic theme. For me, the conclusions are memorable. I would love to see a movie made based on this book.If you are a fan of fast-paced adventure with a touch of drama and intrigue without the cruelty, darkness and gore often dogging the modern genre, I highly recommend this book to you. It even improves on multiple subsequent readings. That's something I don't find very often in any genre. Warning: There is some language that seems inevitable; However, I am pleased that it doesn't contain the evil presence of venom and lack of value for human life we see often in current books.
    • 2/5
      A workmanlike thriller about major nations of the world having to cooperate to explore the cause of a worldwide EMP (electromagnetic pulse) which emanated from the moon. I'm unsure how quickly technology could be repaired in order to put modern civilization back on track, but here communications, transportation, and the Chinese and US space programs bounce back quickly. I'm quite willing to suspend disbelief for a good story, so that's not my problem here. What I do demand in a book, even science fiction and thrillers, is characterization and at least some introspection by or about the main actors. Here, nada. Recommended for readers who like their action undiluted by abstraction.
