"This is an extraordinary continuation of the tunnels series. It has to do with another world at the center of the earth inhabited by tree men and a race of Germans who went there during WWII. The Germans had an agreement with a race of people called the Styx who are intent on killing all "Topsoilers" (all who live on the surface of the earth, because they live below the surface). This agreement entailed assistance from the Germans but they don't know that there is much backstabbing going on on the part of the Styx. This is a fascinating book with an interesting point of view. It is full of action an adventure."

" this series just keeps getting better and better. can't wait to read the next book!! "

" Makin lama, ceritanya makin rumit, ya. Buku sekuel pertamanya "Tunnels" terasa mudah diikuti karena ceritanya menarik dan menegangkan. Tapi pas baca buku sekuel ke 4 ini jadi terasa "berat", mungkin karena penghubungan fakta dengan Jerman & Nazi. Dan aku sangat bete waktu baca bagian Dr. Burrows mati TANPA KISAH BERARTI! Ditembak sama Rebecca di piramida di pusat Bumi??? OH MY GOD! :| "

" It took so long to read this book - about a month! It was pretty good though and I'm sure I'll read the rest. I was happy about the reunion. "

" Nazi city in middle Earth discovered. Fast paced. Action filled. Sci-fi story. Never gets boring. Page turning. "

" Suspensful! Twisty! Turny! I love everything this series chooses to be! "
— Shianne, 11/1/2013 -
" Another great book, loved every moment, and I can't wait till October when the sequel comes out. "
— Heather, 10/22/2013 -
" I liked this book much more than the last one and I felt like it didn't leave you hanging with what happens next despite knowing there is another sequel on the way. It reminded me of the first Tunnels book but had a stronger story line with overlapping plots. "
— Jennydall, 10/21/2013 -
" well writen. Very good, but not as good as the other tunnels books leading up to it. Still a very good read. "
— Matthew, 10/17/2013 -
" Continuing with the series... I liked this one, perhaps a little better than some of the others. Fewer people die, and things seem to be turning a little for the heros. There are a number of things that need resolution and I'm waiting for the next 2 installments for the conclusion. "
— Yougo, 9/15/2013 -
" Heightening my interest with every book, the series is a great read! "
— Kayla, 6/19/2013 -
" Another epic tale in the Tunnels saga. Great writing, great characters, consistent in keeping up with the 1st 3 stories. Glad it's continuing with "Spiral." Recommend Highly. "

" Gregetan. Itu kata yang pas untuk menggambarkan perasaan saya saat membaca setiap halaman buku ini. Kedua penulis serial Tunnels ini memang membuat kita terus penasaran akan akhir cerita yang makin lama semakin imajiner. Getting closer. "

" I thought this book was amazing. One of my true favorites. Hooks the reader in and never lets go. You will surely love this book no matter iif your 13 or 62. I strongly recommend reading it. "
— Billy, 2/14/2013 -
" I loved the series because they use strong vocabulary and description, so I learn a lot of new words. The characters are always scheming, and making plans that depend on many factors, I would find it hard to be able to come up with things like that. "

" Really am enjoying this series. It is different and the so called predictable parts turn out to be not so predictable after all. "
— Jenny, 9/1/2011 -

" This is one of the better books of the series, but I am ready for the story to wrap up. How long are they going to milk this story; when can we expect the conclusion? "

" This book is as good as Freefall, better than Deeper and Tunnels, very fast paced, it's hard to put down. I'm glad I forked out some extra cash and ordered it from the UK so that I didn't have to wait for it to be released in May in the US. Plus UK editions are more authentic! "

" I've always assumed that the adventure of Will Burrows and friends are over in Closer. I was completely wrong. The story gets bigger and better and all the more addictive. I couldn't put it down. "

" great book want the next one to come out so bad! "
