In this gripping thriller, Hans Dieter is a well-known philanthropist with a dark past. From his deathbed, he has one last story to relay to his son, Jim Dieter (retired Navy SEAL) and his best friend, Dan Flaherty (ex-IRA). During the final days of WWII, senior Nazi party and Vatican officials orchestrated one of history’s most daring thefts—a crime Hans Dieter was central to.

For over 70 years, the Vatican has gone to deadly lengths to protect its secret.

Now, a high-stakes chase unfolds across Europe as the Vatican, MI-6, and Interpol pursue Jim and Dan, all desperate to uncover the truth behind The Vatican's Last Secret.

the story line is interesting

The computer generated narration was horrible. mispronounced words and absolutely no inflection or emotion. would love to hear it read by a live person!!

Storyline lacking

AI narrator extremely mechanical- mispronunciations - ruined this audiobook. Storyline lacking depth and richness- some character background shallow.

Good story, AWFUL narrator

I really disliked the “AI” narrator. It mispronunciation words that it previously pronounced correctly. There was no emotion in the reading. The overall story was good which luckily kept me on the hook but it took me a long time to get through this book due to the terrible narration.

It was all right

I think the concept was there. I think it was poorly written.
And the AI voice does not help at all.

Couldn’t Finish

The computer narration was not as good as a person. The main character’s name was pronounced two different ways and was annoying as heck. Since a human was not narrating, there were not different voices for different characters. I could only hear 3 hours and I couldn’t finish.

AI narrator needs help

The AI narrator makes basic mistakes with words like rush and line. There is no long breaks between paragraphs, which in the book marks a story transition, especially with a story that goes back and forth in time. The monotone makes a thrilling story fall flat. This makes the story harder to follow.

AI narrator was not very good

The cast mistakes are mispronunciations by the AI narrator really distracted from the story. There are better quality, AI narration software available. Audible should look into it.

Worst narration

Worst narration ever. AI generated narration was awful and really took away from the story. Cadence, intonation, pronunciation all were off. I waned to stop listening almost from the beginning and wish I had. AI did a disservice to the author.

Interesting story line

Kept me interested throughout. I enjoyed the history references and I always find Vatican content interesting because perhaps there is some level of validity, who knows?
