Publisher's summary

Chase Baker, Renaissance man and adventurer is back. When a flirtatious, beautiful young woman by the name of Andrea Gallo claims to be a fan of his pulp novels, Chase can't resist reciprocating in the lusty attraction. But that night, while the two enjoy a romantic evening of wine and love in his Florence apartment, he is suddenly kidnapped from his bed by two thugs who turn out not only to be working for Great Britain's infamous MI-16, but also working side-by-side with Gallo. Duped once again, Chase wants to bid his newfound romance a quick "arrivederci" and be on his way. But when they tell him they desperately need his help to uncover a legendary cave in the Northern Italian forest before a team of Russian and Iranian hardliners do, he feels compelled to help out, regardless of their rather unsound method of capturing his attention.

But what's so special about the cave?

It's said to be the very same cave that Leonardo da Vinci discovered as a young man back in the mid-15th century, and where he not only learned the secrets behind his many inventions, including the airplane, but where he was exposed to the very meaning behind God's divine plan for mankind. Why is the MI-16 so desperate to uncover the cave before the bad guys do? Whoever discovers it first will possess the knowledge and the power to take over the world.

Snarky adventure!

Short, fun, something of an urban fantasy adventure that sneaks up on the reader. It's all done very tongue in cheek with more imagination than expected. The publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need for spoilers, but that can't begin to prepare you for all the snarks, situational and verbal humor. Just let it catch you and your imagination and enjoy the read!
Andrew B. Wehrlen narrates it well and adds to the snark factor.

An adventure story...

That takes a turn for the truly weird. And I didn’t think it was possible for it to get even more weird, then it does. If you’re a fan of Indiana Jones and wanted to see those movies merged with the X Files... this is the book for you.

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for a review.

Another enjoyable Chase story

Would you consider the audio edition of Chase Baker and the Da Vinci Divinity to be better than the print version?

Yes. The humor of the character comes through so well in these books. The flawed yet likeable Baker gets himself into a sticky widget and has to snark his way out using his know how and luck. This is a fun and fast listen. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

I like books looking for artifacts or proof that could change history, this is one of those. Do you like hints of UFOs , a secret book hidden by Leonardo Da Vinci, action, adventure, romance, and touch of the unknown? Then this is for you! I loved it! Never boring! Twists, turns, and with dialogue.
Wonderful narration!

Wow

This is cross between Dan Brown and James Patterson. A great narration for a great book. This had me from the first page. I received this audiobook for free, but voluntarily reviewed.

Fun adventure novel

Another fun adventure novel in the Chase Baker world.
Plot twists and a deeper glimpse into the character of Chase.
I'm loving the series and enjoying the books.
Narration is quite good.

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Grand Slam..!!

I love a sharp dose of authenticity , Action and wity humor ..when a story is told arrow-straight and fiction feels like reality, when you may have never been to a certain place or met someone like the character you're reading, and yet you feel the narrative's truth. Vincent Zandri definitely has a gift for this...in spades. The writing is tensile-taut, the story lines are interwoven seamlessly, and all the gory details are nicely intact.

You can't imagine a gentleman like this author ever knowing an earthly thing about the underbelly of life that this novel depicts, but his writing resounds with the tone of real people imbedding a real place in time. The story breathes you in and holds its breath as the tension mounts ..

An intricate plot and fleshy, memorable characters, the expressive narrative and relentless pacing will no doubt cause Chase Baker. and the De Vinci Divinity to be remembered as indeed one of the best action novels of the year..

Action, Adventure, and some historical references

Both the author and narrator are new to me. I enjoyed this thrilling adventure story. I loved the twists and turns and the references to history. Da Vinci in my mind was truly brilliant. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher. This story is part of a series, yet a standalone book.

Great Story & Narration

Narration made this come alive, he is great, clear, and greatly added to the story. As for the author his book are one of a kind, adventure, and nice flowing plots.
