About this listen

Mankind's greatest mystery lies in wait...

Civil war rages in Ethiopia. A man waits to die in a parched prison cell; he has seen daylight for four decades. But then a bomb hit hits the compound, and the prisoner and his secret are free.

Two reporters, a beautiful photographer and a mercenary soldier save this wounded man, who tells them something too incredible to believe: the location of the Holy Grail. Thus begins an impossible quest that will pit them against murderous tribes, deadly assassins, fanatical monks, and ultimately, themselves.

The Quest is a breakneck search for an ancient legend amid a dangerous jungle war - and no one's coming out unscathed©2013 Nelson DeMille

NDM is a clever writer who makes his male leads facetious & witty. Strong plus attractive without them being annoyingly arrogant. A great way to learn of a particular piece of history with an interesting story & clever characters woven in.

Very cool history & religious quest combo - loved it

I enjoyed it all - a mix of drama, romance, fantasy . I don’t want to say more as I haven’t time - this 15 word minimum is annoying

What disappointed you about The Quest?

Drags on and on. Not even a third of the way through and will not continue.
