About this ebook
“What do you get when you cross Jurassic Park with an ancient underground city? The answer is Pandemonium, an exciting read.” —Steve Alten, New York Times–bestselling author of Meg
Deep beneath the Ural Mountains, in an underground city carved out by slave labor during the darkest hours of the Cold War, ancient caverns hold exotic and dangerous life-forms that have evolved in isolation for countless millennia. Cut off from the surface world, an entire ecosystem of bizarre subterranean species has survived undetected—until now.
Biologists Nell and Geoffrey Binswanger barely survived their last encounter with terrifying, invasive creatures that threatened to engulf the planet. They think the danger is over until a ruthless Russian tycoon lures them to his underground metropolis, where they find themselves confronted by a vicious menagerie of biological horrors from their past—and by entirely new breeds of voracious predators. Now they’re rising up from the bowels of the Earth to consume the world as we know it.
“Warren Fahy’s Pandemonium is pure genius, an otherworldly wonder as creative as the best of Jules Verne. Here is riveting scientific speculation paired with bravado storytelling. I want more!” —James Rollins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author
“Warren Fahy’s new novel Pandemonium is probably the best high-tech thriller I’ve read since The Mote in God’s Eye. My heart was pounding (literally) from page one. Can’t wait for his next tale.” —David Hagberg, New York Times–bestselling author

I was looking forward to this but it fell way too short of my expectations. The plot is mediocre, the conversations even more so. It is so bland that it was a struggle to finish reading it. Fragment kept me on the edge of my seat but pandemonium is simply boooooring. The only thing that kept me going are hender's creatures and the ghosts other than that there's nothing special or interesting about this book.

Waited a long time for this. While part of me wished there was more about the creatures of Pandemonium, I was satisfied With the rest of the story. Sad to see an important character knocked off. Well important to me. I really identified with him.

I enjoyed this book as much as his first one, Fragment. Fahy has a flair for creating wondrous and equally deadly creatures.
