Herculean

Cerberus Group, Book 1

By: Jeremy Robinson

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

The Secret Must Be Kept....

For 3,000 years, the Herculean Society has preserved the legacy of the ancient hero, Hercules, protecting history's fragile relics from humanity, and humanity from the dangerous truths behind the legends. Now, the Society's new leader, archaeologist George Pierce, faces his first test: the Cerberus Group, a shadowy organization with two goals: the collection and distribution of black market relics, tech and secrets, and the purge of those deemed unfit for survival.

Pierce and his niece, Fiona - the last guardian of the "mother tongue", the forgotten language of creation - discover a secret entrance to the legendary Labyrinth, and at its heart, a hidden trove of relics that point the way to Hercules' greatest discovery: a mutagen that can rewrite the very code of life. When a surprise attack leaves Pierce and Fiona trapped in the deadly maze, fighting for their lives, the race to stop the Cerberus Group begins.

To defeat this new enemy, Pierce must assemble a team of experts including Felice Carter, a geneticist with a dangerous secret, Augustina Gallo, a mythology professor, Cintia Dourado, a high tech hacker, and Lazarus, a dead soldier returned to life.

Guided by their knowledge of science, history, and mythology, Pierce's team sets out on an epic journey, following in the footsteps of Hercules, to stop Cerberus from controlling the power that rises from the Well of Monsters.

...or the world will be cleansed.

Jeremy Robinson and Sean Ellis, the international best-selling team behind the Jack Sigler thrillers, including Savage and Cannibal, return with a new series that rewrites the way we see history. Rivaling the best of Matthew Reilly and James Rollins, Herculean combines a blistering pace with fringe science and myths reborn.

Warehouse 13 meets Greek mythology

Great story. Kept me involved and into it the whole time. The Herculean connection was fascinating and well developed. I hope the other novels have him in them. Interesting twists, great way of connecting the ancient world and
Modern world together. The narrator did a great job on the voices and keeping the interest high. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

Page Turner

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this book was a page turner, action, adventure and plot twists what more could you want.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the idea of this secret brotherhood protecting the world from itself. It's very "DaVinci Code" like and who doesn't love Greek mythology. I found myself really believing this society was real and had to remind myself that this was a work of fiction. It really had me asking, "what if..."

Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?

I really liked Fiona! What an interesting character. She's 18 and becoming a young woman, dealing with and overcoming adversity. She is a vulnerable yet strong female character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Yay!

My favorite character returns. So glad he’s back! Interesting story as well. Jeremy Robinson never disappoints.

New series, favourite characters

Herculean brings back many favourite characters from the Chess Team series and gives them the chance to shine on their own. While most action thrillers depend on the team to be led by a spec-ops or some other form of military guy, it is so refreshing to see a team brought together and led by a scientist. We all remember George Pierce from the Chess Team universe, and he is now the head of the Herculean Society. Aided by Fiona and gathering up more team members as they go, we get the start of what will be a fantastic new series.

While this book is currently a standalone and can be read as such, fans of the Chess Team books will love this!!! Fans of Jeffrey Kafer's narration will not be disappointed
