As always, Jeffrey Kafer narrates the story with perfection. I know, it seems strange for a man to narrate a woman, but that does not defer from Jade's story in the least. I don't even hear that it's a male voice. Jeffrey has a way of carrying the suspense, adventure, and curiosity in his voice for the characters. He retains the calm the characters feel in stressful, scary moments. Although, there is some worry and nerves that creep through in this story for Jade and Professor, and Jeffrey enunciates them. We get the feel of the characters emotions, feelings, and personality through Jeffrey's tones and attitude voiced.

Wow. Jade spends most of the book on the run! She's running for her life in Rome, Italy along with on a slave boat. Jade is a handy woman on her own. Almost a female McGyver!

We start with Jade having been kidnapped, possibly being sold as a slave. We see a darker side to Haiti with Professor doing all he can to find Jade. This is where Jade gets nervous. What can she really do? Jade is determined to fight, and fight she does. She will do anything if there's a sliver of hope to survive.

This story is focused on Jade. She's grown as a character and in her skills, and it shows here. Even Professor notes it several times to himself. She may not need him around to protect her any longer. And that bothers him a bit. Jade has grown stronger. Some of the things she has to do... Ugh. *stomach drops* She's a bit more of a daredevil than I would have thought. Wow. Professor even has his extraordinary events here. But he refuses to leave Jade fend for herself.

I love Jade with Professor. They get under each other's skin, but they're a great pair with all they know and can do. They could even, someday in the future, be a great couple. They challenge each other but are great friends and work companions.

This story touches close to home for many people and brings up a heated topic. Slavery. This is not just about the past slaves but also the human trafficking that still happens in the world. There is even a brief touch on what people consider liberty and freedom. Even how some feel about America and immigrants is touched on here. All amazing topics to discuss and think on. This book opens a door to these subjects for people to think on. It's not meant to begin an argument or upset anyone, but hopefully to open eyes and ears to bring the subjects in the open so people can understand and work to stop slavery. This was the impression I got from the characters.

We get sections that are detailed in explaining. There are true history pieces used to create the fiction from. I love how the minds of David Wood and Sean Ellis use history to create their stories. It makes the story feel so much more invested for me.

Another hair raising adventure for Jade and Professor. As always, I look forward to more with them.

Jade for the win!

If you're looking for a new adventure series, then you don't need to look any further than the audiobook currently on your screen. Jade Ihara is essentially the new and improved Indiana Jones. Without the fear of snakes holding her back and a plethora of skills at her deposal, she manages to tackle every challenge thrown her way (and the authors threw a ton of them at her). Overall, this audiobook was incredibly exciting and I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series when it comes out!

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Really cool story. Narration is great as well.

I really enjoyed this story. It was really fast paced and held my attention well.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Wood.

Superheroine archaeologist!

If it wasn't for David Wood and coauthors I'd always be sitting around waiting for Cussler and coauthors to publish again! Same intensity, same attention to historical details, similar vivid imagination, all excellent storytelling, and without the boring erotica pushed on other authors by publishers. If you haven't read a Jade Ihara adventure before, think superheroine without the gimmicks. No need to recap or trot out spoilers, the publisher's blurb gives hints enough. Me, all I need is the author's name and I'm hooked, and it certainly met my expectations!

Jeffrey Kafer always adds to the suspense and urgency of the story with his narrations.
