About this audiobook
Book 4 in the Area 51 series.
Dr. Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte know better than anyone that no secret is safe for long—especially one that offers untold power. Case in point: no sooner does Turcotte’s elite Area 51 team uncover a dormant alien ship in earth orbit than a group of alien-human hybrids seizes it and uses its technology to commandeer a satellite array bristling with nuclear missiles. Now they’re demanding that humankind hand over the key to an ancient stash of alien technology…or watch an entire continent be reduced to atomic rubble.
Doom seems certain, as the required key is believed lost to the ages—until an unwitting anthropologist discovers the first of many clues to its hiding place. As Duncan and Turcotte race to reach the key—and the powerful treasure it can unlock—ahead of their alien foes, the quest leads them deep into a deadly maze within the Great Sphinx of Giza. The prize? Nothing less than the legendary Ark of the Covenant.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Immensely well researched book, the sheer scope of the storyline is just dazzling. I especially enjoyed the narrator Eric Dove’s sterling efforts that so added to the thrill and suspense building and building right up until the last sentence. Usually I tend to let a book percolate before starting another; in this instance it will be a quick bite, dog fed-watered-toileted then on to the next ‘fact-fest’ adventure, Excalibur! Many thanks to the author, Bob you did a super job with this one…
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While I'm a fan of the genre, I can't say the same for this book. This one had a hard time keeping me enthralled.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I don't know if it was because I didn't read the other books in the seriies, but I found this one boring.
