Summary
From the USA Today best-selling author of Dark Space... a series of unrelated stand-alone sci-fi novels; no sequels and no cliffhangers
The sun vanished and darkness fell in the middle of the day, and then the meteors began to fall....
Bill Steele is in the trenches, trying to survive in the competitive world of luxury vacation resorts on the island of Kauai. Today is a particularly bad day; the water main burst and his guests are demanding refunds and promising bad reviews. In the middle of this, a dark shadow falls over the island. It’s not a lunar eclipse, because Bill can clearly see the crescent moon shimmering on the water. This is something else.
Moments later, the meteors begin to fall. One of them lands in the water just beyond the resort. Everyone flees screaming to their rooms, expecting a wall of water to follow, but the tsunami never arrives. Bill and his daughter watch the news from the relative safety of their third-floor suite. The anchorman is fleeing from his hillside vantage point with his cameraman in hot pursuit. Their muffled screams are the last thing anyone hears before the signal is lost....
If you liked the movies Alien and Independence Day, you’ll love Under Darkness.

Started off ok but deteriorated.
One of those annoying books held me just enough to find out what happened, then really wished I hadn’t bothered.
The narrator saved it for me but overall childish .

Just OK
No wow factor here, just ok. Characters not that interesting, performance not great. Story has potential.

Hard to stop listening
This book popped up on my list. I was not sure about it, but decided to give it a go. So pleased I did. Really enjoyed this book, and I will be looking at the author for more reads.
Very different from what I have read before. Highly recommend, apart from the late night because I wanted to hear the end!

Rather Slow and Dull
I am often surprised by how interesting and engrossing audio books can be but when I forget what the plot is as happened with this book several times, I suspect that my attention has been attracted easily elsewhere. This happened throughout the story. I was neither interested in the characters nor engrossed in the plot. The best part was the hard work put in by the narrator Ben Jaeger-Thomas.

Boring Story
Uninteresting story, not keen to buy other books of the series. The performance was not that great either as narrative lacked variation in tone and rate of speech that should tally with emotions and changes in the story
