About this listen

 Following in the tradition of Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly, Andy McDermott takes us a roller-coaster ride in search of the legendary Atlantis.

Archaeologist Nina Wilde believes she hasfound the location of the lost city of Atlantis andnow she wants the opportunityto prove her theory. Someone else though wants her dead!
With the help of ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase and beautiful heiress Kari Frost, Nina faces a breakneck race against time around the world, pursued at every step by agents of the mysterious and murderous Brotherhood of Selasphoros. From the jungles of Brazil to the mountains of Tibet, from the streets of Manhattan to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, the hunt for Atlantis leads to a secret hidden for 11,000 years which in the wrong hands could destroy civilization as we know it...

This narrator is much better than the one used in later books in the series (which were published first in Audible).
So glad I can start the series from the beginning and enjoy Eddie with a hero's voice instead of the high pitched version that pushed me away from the series. Is it too much to hope that those books have been rerecorded using Simon Mattacks' narration?

This Narrator is much better

I thought it lacked imagination. Atlantis was barely described in the book despite visiting near three times. Characters seemed to be used as plot devices in some parts. I thought the Kari development and end didn’t really match up. There were plot holes everywhere. Chase and stockman - was kind of a massive let down. I actually found myself rooting a bit for the frost foundation as the whole holier than thou routine from the hero’s was a bit bloody dull. How many times does that routine need to be done? It basically ripped on Dan browns novel which was a superior text in that regard. Some of it was a bit cringe. The narrator was excellent. I pushed myself to listen to the end of the book but it was a real effort as the story seemed to drag and was predictable. I think the author gave it a really good shot though and wasn’t the worst - I did, after all, listen to the end.

Reader is great, story is a bit dull
