Resourceful SEALs

The Amber Room was stolen by the Nazi’s during WWII, everyone knows that. The mystery is where did it go after it was stolen and where is it now? Navy SEALs Dane and Bones are assigned to find out just that. Zara Leopov joins them along the way with a mission of her own. Together, the SEALs and Leopov battle the Russians to be the first to find and recover the famous Amber Room. But would it be better to never find it again?

I liked how the listen started with Danes and Bones in training. It gave you a feel for how smart, resourceful, and lethal they are together. They show all those qualities and more as they travel from place to place on orders to recover the Amber Room. There is much to like in this standalone, if somewhat short, listen. There is action and adventure along with sexual tension that was neither over or under done.

Jeffrey Kafer was an awesome narrator. He did as well with male and female voices and his Russian and German accents were good, too!

Fascinating piece of history revealed

What I love about books like this is they introduce you to a REAL piece of history, a true life mystery that the author has delved into and solved in their own fashion. The Amber Room was real. It existed, it was truly stolen by the nazis. It's story was one I was not familiar with though I am now reading up on it. The story was well written the characters were easy to connect with. The narrator delivered and executed the tale well. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the piece of history that it brought to my attention.

Title got my attention

I was intrigued by the title since there were news articles a couple of years ago about the Amber Room. The book was a fast listen and full of action. I felt that the book could have had more explanation for several parts of the story line.

I've realized that when I don't notice the narrator, that means he/she has done a very good job. That was the case for this book.

Action packed thriller.

In this action packed thriller by David Wood and Rick Chesler, Navy SEALs Dane Maddock and "Bones" Bonebreak are assigned with 2 other members of their team to find the lost Amber Room, which the Nazi's stole from Russia as they retreated during the last days of WW2. Assisting them is a Russian agent, Zara Leopov, who they have had dealings with previously. What follows is wild ride around Europe, from a shipwreck at the bottom o fthe Baltic Sea to Russia to the mountains of Austria. They will encounter agents of differing interests looking for the room themselves, all trying to find the dealy secret the room potentially holds. Can Dane and Bones overcome the odds and solve a mystery over 70 years old? Well, I recommend getting a copy and finding out.

With a fast paced plot, exotic locales and non-stop action, this book is sure to thrill fans of Clive Cussler and Larry Flynn. The characters are well thought out, and their interesction rings true of brothers in arms.

Jeffrey Kafer, who is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators, is his usual excellent self, bringing the story and characters to life.

A real lost treasure made into novel

It was really exciting to find out that this is a really true lost treasure, and it was called the eighth wonder of the world. It is interesting that the author thought that the Amber would dissolve in water according to what I’ve read that is not possible. But the story was very good and the narrator was good. too.

I like when a narrator reads a little bit slowly so if I want to speed it up, I can. I listen to this at 1.1 speed.

I do feel like that. The story ended a little bit abruptly at the end. It seems like they could’ve pulled that out a little better, but it was a very Fun listen. If you like action thrillers and fictionalized history, this is a really interesting listen.

I personally will be listening to more of this author with this narrator .
