Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel. Read by William Hope, Christopher Ragland, Andy Secombe, Charlie Anson, Eric Meyers, Laurel Lefkow, Liza Ross, William Hope, Adna Sablyich and Katharine Mangold.

Deadwood, USA. A girl sneaks out just before dark to ride her new bike. Suddenly the ground disappears beneath her. Waking up at the bottom of a deep pit, she sees an emergency rescue team above her. The people looking down see something far stranger....

We always look forward. We never look back.

That girl grows up to be Dr. Rose Franklin, a brilliant scientist and the leading world expert on what she discovered. An enormous, ornate hand made of an exceptionally rare metal which predates all human civilisation on the continent.

But this thing...it's different. It challenges us. It rewrites history.

An object whose origins and purpose are perhaps the greatest mystery humanity has ever faced. Solving the secret of where it came from - and how many more parts may be out there - could change life as we know it.

It dares us to question what we know about ourselves.

But what if we were meant to find it? And what happens when this vast, global puzzle is complete?

About everything.

Editorial Reviews

"Reminiscent of The Martian and World War Z, this is a luminous conspiracy yarn that shoots for (and lands among) the stars." (Pierce Brown, author of Red Rising)

Superbly produced audiobook!

If you love a good scifi thriller, this book is it. The performances of each of the characters in this audio book was so so engaging. Excellent buy and I am going to get my hands on the rest of the Themis files!

clichéd Hollywood si-fi

As the title of my review suggests, the story consists of quite a few used plots from Hollywood. Isn't all that bad, but don't expect much new stuff. The narration is pretty good and unique and quite frankly suited for an audiobook format.

Excellent narration kept me hooked

The story starts off really interesting, but it feels a little dragged into the following books in the series.
Audible invested in an excellent performance. Each character has a voice and an accent, which still is not overwhelming.

Better than I expected!

The format of this book works extremely well as an audiobook since it is a series of interviews. The performances for our unknown Supervisor and Cara are superlative! The story and the interview format feel very different and interesting. I'm starting the next one in the series asap!

Just brilliant.

I’ve been a long time fan of sci-Fi audiobooks.

The writing, narration, humor and interview driven format of these books has just been a pure pleasure. Enough to make me want to write my first review after 100s of books. I lost a lot of sleep over this series. In a good way. The narrators especially were just absolutely brilliant.
