About this listen

Within the Great Ruins of Zimbabwe, anthropologist Gabe Turpin makes an impossible discovery. A secret cabal deploys a black-ops team to the site to recover Turpin’s relics and leave no survivors.

Gabe escapes, and is relentlessly pursued across Africa, and to the mountains of Ecuador. Only Turpin holds the truth, as the lives of millions hang in the balance. And, the only hope is for Gabe to meet those he believes want to destroy him and his discovery in order to keep humankind’s greatest secret from...disclosure.

The premise of the story is absurd. A conspiracy to use holographic projections of the second coming of Jesus to hide the extraterrestrial source of free energy technology and to control the transition of the global economy to this free energy. It's never explained how making people believe Jesus has returned would advance their plan, when it would be infinitely more logical to just file a patent for the intellectual property than orchestrate this absurdity.

Then there's the illogical contradictions throughout the story. The protagonist is on the run from these conspirators. He uses CIA like dead-drops to get a false passport with a false name so these sophisticated organisation which has infiltrated global intelligence agencies can't find him. OK. Makes sense. But then immediately before he had checked into a hotel under his own name using his own credit card... He also makes calls to his wife which for some reason this sophistication organisation isn't listening to and tells her when he's coming home. But still the organisation can't find him. It's ridiculous.

The most bizarre part is the obsessive overemphasis on food descriptions throughout. They're dramatically over detailed, described like you're reading a good guide each time a character eats something. Making it worse is that the narrator uses an overly sensual voice when reading these food descriptions and it's very unsettling and leaves you feeling a bit yuck.
