Operation Trinity (The 39 Clues: The Cahill Files, Book 1)

De: Clifford Riley

Narrado por: David Pittu

For 500 years, the Cahills have been the most powerful family in the world. For 500 years, they've protected the source of their power - the 39 Clues. And for 500 years, they've kept their secrets silent. Until now.

This extraordinary stand-alone novel cracks open the Cahill vault to tell the story of the most coveted piece of artwork in the world, a masterpiece that has been the target of seven separate theft attempts: Jan van Eyck’s altarpiece at Ghent.

Operation Trinity chronicles the first Vesper attack on the altarpiece in the 1600s, then jumps to WWII and young Grace Cahill’s desperate bid to save the masterwork from the Nazis. The final piece of the novel tells the story of Ian and Natalie Kabra’s first solo operation and features an 11th hour appearance by Grace Cahill on her final mission. History will never be the same.

Another fun reading for my 12 yo son who loves this series. David Pittu is always a reliable reader with good voice characterizations.

AMAZING BOOK!!!!!

I loved everything about this book I have so far read all the 39 clues books before this, if you are interested in this series I would suggest reading every book before before reading this one, the first book is called 39 clues the maze of bones, and there are multiple series in the 39 clues such as Cahill's vs vespers, unstoppable, doublecross, rapid fire, Cahill files (this book is the first to Cahill files), and then to specials. As you can guess there are 39 books in the series so it is a little difficult to commit but it is worth it!

Not long enough

I think that they'll should of made this book longer at least -five hours long

Quick read, little content.

This short book has the potential for being a great novel but reads like it was written in a hurry and as anything will do. Scenes and situations that could be expanded on were skipped through like a high speed train, leaving me to wonder what was that all about or that doesn't seem reasonable. It covers vastly different time eras and characters without offering insight of either. I think this author can do better and shouldn't rely on this former reputation to sell less than his best. I felt cheated.
