Free Dive

By: C. F. Waller

Narrated by: Austin Freeman

Stealing tea cups and saucers from the Titanic wreck site is not an easy task. Doing it without getting your feet wet is even harder. Dexter Knight and his two mismatched partners have managed to do it, but are finding it difficult to turn their acquisitions into cold hard cash. When one such sale goes horribly awry, they wind up hijacked, along with their technology. Unsure if he's now working for a government agency or a criminal conspiracy, Dexter finds his team dragged out to the oceans deepest spot, the Marianas Trench. There, beneath seven miles of sea water, lies an unknown object far more intriguing than fine china. While Dexter would prefer to get back to civilization and dry land, he finds himself pondering a more ominous question. If he leaves without solving the mystery beneath the waves, will there be any civilization to go back to?

The narration isn't as bad reviews say

I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review, and I'm glad I did. I think the reviews about the narration are unfair. It's not the most amazing, I admit, but it kinda reminded me of a submarine or scuba audio. I don't think it was intentional because it was the same even when they weren't underwater, but I think it was cool when the two overlapped. Just listen to the preview before you buy and decide for yourself if you like the narration. I think it was fine.

The story was the best part, though. I liked the humor sprinkled throughout and the surprise. It was a fun and mysterious journey with fun and interesting characters.

Good story, terrible audio.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story but as many others have said, the audio is terrible.

I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Great story

C.F Waller writes another great story, storyline is excellent, Characters are just that "characters", and the interaction between them is so real to life. The tech side is believable.
A great piece of fiction. Good entertainment.

Austin Freeman's performance of this book is good.
Though there are some minor problems with the actual recording. Most unusual for a CMP audiobook which are normally excellent quality.
I received a copy of this audio title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Hightech fun hampered by production.

Story: I liked the story. Reviews that talk about how the tech is impossible missed the point. It's about fantasy. The book kind of reminds me of the Abyss.


Structure: The book was fine. Easy to follow and linear. Also a one off book.


Narrator: Unfortunately this was a big draw back. There was a odd echo and sounded like things falling in the background. Very cheap sounding. The narrator had no range and some lines repeated. This book needs to be fixed and re-uploaded.

I received this book for free in return for a voluntarily unbiased review.

I really liked the story and gave me the feeling I had while watching the Abyss though I was distracted by the poor quality of the production. May want to buy the book instead.

good story, horrible recording

While I enjoyed the story, and the voice of the narrator, the recording itself was horrible. At times you could hear background noise, or it sounded like he was recording in a box; there were many lines repeated. Obviously the quality was poor. I deleted the book and then tried to download again in hopes the problems were due to the down load, but no such luck. If you can get past the recording problems, the book itself is good; some areas could have been better developed that weren't and others shortened that were overly developed. But I liked the concept.
