Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
When a mile-wide asteroid appears in orbit around Earth, ex-astronaut Boston Low is called on to return to space and nudge the monster into a stable position. When he, a journalist and a scientist investigate the asteroid's surface, they enter a time and place of mystery, danger and revelation: the planet Cocytus, once home to an intelligent race but now a haunted museum to their incredibly advanced civilization. An epic science fiction adventure too big for even Steven Spielberg to bring to the screen!

When an asteroid threatens the Earth, NASA launches a shuttle mission to nuke the big rock into a stable orbit. The operation goes smoothly. But when Cmdr. Boston Low, scientist Ludger Brink & TV reporter Maggie Robbins explore the interior, the asteroid transports them to a far away planet of wonder and danger. Enjoyed it immensely! Good job on the characters. All 3 had the personalities needed to survive on the alien world of Cocytus. Great interaction between rock solid, ice-water-for-blood Low and spirited yet experienced Robbins. Loved the transformation in Brink. Added a lot to the tension of the story. Lots of really awesome stuff to be found on the planet, especially some green crystals that play a big, big part in the story. The exploration and deductive skills of the characters as they make one discovery after another was well done and believable. The Cocytans are great aliens. Millions of beings of pure thought, all connected and existing in a dimension just beyond our. Loved their observations of the human visitors and how their efforts, to many of them, are merely a sideshow. Yet others root for them and desire to help them, even though they are unable. The one complaint I have is that I would have liked to see more fear among Low, Ludger and Maggie of possibly being stranded on this alien world for the rest of their lives. While they are curious, smart and confident, even the best of us would get scared to our depths at one point or another in such a situation. Despite that, the book was a great sci-fi tale.

I didn't realize that the book was based on a game until after I had listened to it on tape. A group go off to blow a hole in an asteroid so it doesn't hit earth, but they find more than they bargained for. Sort of like Alice they fall thru the rabbit hole into a strange world - what will happen next? Are the Cocytens alive or just a prerecorded memory? And will they ever get home? The audiobook is read by John Shea, who does an excellent job. He has a soothing reading voice and does great characterizations. I listened to it twice and enjoyed it both times.

When I bought the book just for game cheats, I thought that the book would be boring, but it was the best sci-fi book I've ever read. The book starts out slow and boring, then gets more exciting. I got a little confused at the end, but got the idea. At the same time, I was playing the game, The Dig, by LucasArts Entertainment Company. The book only helped me a little with the game, though.()

A great book for everyone!
When my Mom got me the book, I read it just to look for game hints, but then I really got into the book. It starts out slow and boring, then gets better. Lesen Sie weiter...

Great Sci-Fi book! It should become a movie!
I enjoyed this book a lot. Even though some of the personalities lacked realism, it still had a very good plot. Starts out slow, but later you get sucked into it. Lesen Sie weiter...

The Dig is a fresh alternative to other sci-fi books
The Dig is a great book about a group of astronatuts who go into space to investigate a meteor that has wandered into the Earth's orbit. Lesen Sie weiter...

Decent.
Could have been good, but characters were not believable. The concept of people being as naive as they were in The Dig, on an alien planet, is really something else. Lesen Sie weiter...

Would make a great movie!
This audio was very interesting and a great story, however the abridgement cut the story too short. Anyway, the material they do present is good and the background sounds and... Lesen Sie weiter...

Wonderful!
Foster did a great job on the book. Not a detailed translation of the game, though as good as the game itself. Lesen Sie weiter...
