First heard this in serialized podcast form. My first Scott Sigler experience. Still have many fond memories of this book! Masterfully done. ( )

Although there were few (if any?) likeable characters in this story, I did enjoy the plot and revelations about the creatures living far below the earth. My only real criticisms were that it went on perhaps a little longer than necessary, and there were a few word choice/pronouciation oddities. Definitely worth a listen if you like gritty and flawed characters in your science fiction mix. ( )

A fair book overall. Although there are many characters in the story, I didn't feel attached to or even like most of them. The story was OK, but reminded me of others. I was hoping for more geology and much less science fiction. Sci-fi, action adventure, staple. ( )

I've been a fan of Scott Sigler since stumbles across the Infected series of books which I really enjoyed and when I saw this I jumped at the chance to take another journey into Sigler's imagination.

Earthcore follows the story of a mining company who ruthlessly grabs the mining rights to a newly found platinum deposit on a mountain where Indians talk of curses and several people have gone missing over the years.

As works commence the story unfolds in a rather wonderous manner which really stokes the imagination, by the end I found myself feeling, without giving away too much, that it was a bit of a sad story really.

Overall, another excellent Sigler story. ( )
