The Balkan Escape (Short Story)

A Cassiopeia Vitt Adventure

De: Steve Berry

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Steve Berry's first ever eBook original finds an adventurer in a strange and forbidding land, in search of a long lost treasure, and very much in harm's way.

As a favor to enigmatic billionaire Henrik Thorvaldsen, Cassiopeia Vitt treks into Bulgaria's Rila mountains in search of a buried stash of exceedingly rare artifacts from a bygone civilization: the ancient tomb of a Thracian king. But when her presence is discovered by a shadowy group of Russians secretly mining the area, she needs a way out. Who to trust becomes the question, and her life depends on choosing the right option.

Worth a listen.

I haven't listened to anything by Steve Berry and bought it because I like the narrator. I am glad - I enjoyed the w ritting style quite a bit.

solid introduction for a future character

story is interesting and flows well. the character will be introduced in a later novel. this is a prequel.

Mystery tied to history

I enjoy mystery tied to history. This is a short prequel to a longer novel, The Emperor’s Tomb. Looking forward to reading/listening to the full novel. I know that anything written by Steve Berry is good.

Too Short

This was less of a "short story" and more of a prologue to another novel.

the escape

fun..not as adventurous as other of his story's..but def a lead into the next. Def love his character Casseopia.. she's so hot and beautiful..love her to death...story was ok..good place to pass time...I know another Steve berry novel is on the horizon for me!

Great Short Story

This was the perfect filler between two longer listens. All the action you expect with a good storyline. You also get to meet a new character, so the book is a teaser also.

Intro to Steve Berry & Cassiopeia Vitt

I saw this short story and thought it would be a nice introduction to an author I have heard about, but never read. This was an interesting and exciting short story about a character that was going to be introduced into one of the author's series. I liked the story, the writing and the character and will check out her novella series. Scott Brick is fabulous on narration as always.

Short and sweet.

Sometimes I love a good short story that I can enjoy while folding laundry or running errands. I can't complain about the length of this story. It's complete and as usual Scott Brick's reading is fabulous. I'll be picking up the Emperor's Tomb. I wouldn't use a credit for something so short, but a few dollars out of pocket? Absolutely!

short and effective

This is the first Cassiopeia Vitt short. While it does act as a lead in for the next Cotton Malone novel, it is still an effective little thriller. No fuss no muss. Just straight up action story, practically from sentence one. I found nothing negative to say about it. Recommended for all... prior knowledge is handy but hardly required. Enjoyable if a bit short.

Quick short story. not bad

this is a quick short story and prelude to a later book. not too shabby
