Summary

They tried to kill him to cover up an ancient secret. Now Sean Wyatt is plunged head first into a race against time to save his best friend and the lives of billions.

A 4,000-year-old mystery lurks in the hills of Georgia. While investigating a strange series of ancient symbols, an archaeologist vanishes, and a professor he entrusted with the secret is murdered. Former government agent Sean Wyatt learns of his friend's disappearance and the murder. Now he must unravel the clues to the ancient mystery that holds incredible power.

To save his friend, Sean will have to fight off highly trained mercenaries in hand to hand combat, violent shootouts, and high speed car chases through the Blue Ridge Mountains. And in the end, what he learns will change the history books as we know them.

Gripping listen from start to finish.

Good narration which carries the listener along. Storyline is very good and interesting from one chapter to the next.

Light romp

Another treasure hunt but amusing enough. Not great literature and the usual character tropes. There will be a sequel.

Good story but....

This could have been so much better and considerably shorter if the author had not over-explained every action made by the characters. It's like he didn't trust the readers to use their imagination. The book is poorly written and needs editing.

The story itself is good. The idea is just as good as any other story of this genre, and the ending was complete but allowing for a continuation into the next installment.

I probably won't be buying the next book in the series.

Incompetent modern day fantasy action plot

A derivative fantasy/conspiracy action thriller which is poorly written with continuity errors, logical mistakes and clumsy English. The hero’s have little depth or character and are completely incompetent allowing the, of course, German and Russian bad guys to outwit them. Lots of gun violence but no swearing or sex and the story continues for at least another three books. Narrator tried hard with the material they had. If you like this type of story I recommend trying Andy McDermott’s Wilde and Chase series or any Clive Cussler, they are much better written, have characters it’s hard not to care about and plots that just about hang together but most of all are great fun to read/listen to
