Book of Souls

A cross between Brown's DaVinci Code & Follett's Pillars of the Earth, Cooper gives a fast and thrilling read. I highly recommend reading The Secret of the Seventh Son, which is the prequel to this book, before delving into this one, as it provides greater depth into the history of the Books and the Order. Both novels are excellent.

One of the best audible books I've listened to, out of hundreds.
I found this audiobook just surfing around the audible site. I'd never heard of this author before. I found a gem.
The author is a wordmaster and a master of ideas. The story is very fresh and original
and it completely gripped me.
The narration is perfect. Clear and concise, the narrator mastered his voices and accents.
The characters are well defined and interesting.
Definitely, I would listen to the first book first, and then this one.
If you like the first one, you will enjoy this one too. They are cut from the same mold and part of the same fantastic mythos.

Boyett narrates one of the more intriguing thrillers I have heard in awhile. Plot rips along, and interesting historical flashbacks add some colour. Actually the resolve leaves one wanting abit more. I recommend this one!

First of all if you have not read Secrets of the Seventh Son do not read this one first! I did read Book of Souls first and I throughly enjoyed it but realized that if I had read the first book first I would have "caught on" much sooner. It was a little trying jumping back into the past then forward into the future but once I understood why Mr. Cooper was doing this the book came together for me. This is my first read with Glenn Cooper and I loved his style. I am now going to read Secrets of the Seventh Sons. The narration was great too. I would highly recommend this one AFTER you read Seventh Sons.

I had never heard of Glenn Cooper before downloading Secret of the 7th Son, but he's well worth listening to. The narrator is excellent. I can't wait to get into the car so I can keep listening.

However, don't listen to this one first. The 7th Son is the first story and if you were to listen to them in reverse, I think you'd miss a lot.

Listened to this before the prequel story - it did not matter, both a re well written, imaginative and very well read stories - love to see more from this author

This book and Secret of the 7th Son (read them in order) are some of my favorite audiobooks to date. The story is so interesting and captivating it's hard to stop listening. Everyone I have recommended this to has felt the same way. If it doesn't become a block buster movie & sequel - I'll be surprised. The narrator is absolutely one of the best I've ever experienced. Cudos to the talent of the writer & the narrator and thank you both for the hours of imaginative entertainment. Please do more soon!

If I had been reading this book instead of listening to it, I would have tossed it out the first time it sounded a little like the Da Vinci Code. It may have been the superior narration, by Mark Boyett that kept my attention and I am grateful for that because the story was much better than I expected

It was an entertaining book but not so much that I will search out the one Cooper wrote before

I did not read the print version. But narration in this book was awesome.

Agent Will Piper. He is AMAZINGLY human and faulty, but loveable and smart as well.

Yes, the first Will Piper book! Both books are amazing.

Yes. It was anxiety provoking and action packed.

The Agent Will Piper series s fantastic. I hope it is more than 2 books in the end.

I suggest reading Secret of the Seventh Son first. It is the first in the duo. I especially liked how the author worked in historical characters and Area 51 into a plausible history of The Library.
