Publisher's summary

FBI Agent Pendergast has taken Constance on a whirlwind Grand Tour, hoping to give her closure and a sense of the world that she's missed. They head to Tibet, where Pendergast intensively trained in martial arts and spiritual studies. At a remote monastery, they learn that a rare and dangerous artifact the monks have been guarding for generations has been mysteriously stolen. Pendergast agrees to take up the search.

The trail leads him and Constance to the maiden voyage of the Queen Victoria, the world's largest and most luxurious passenger liner - and to an Atlantic crossing fraught with terror.

Great new narrator still love there works

It is a great change of pace with a different narrator. But I love Rene voice always have. I listen to several books a week. This book is a great listen too. Highly recommended!!!!. The Tibitan is part of the story that make this incrediable and workable. It gives it it's edge.

Satisfying on all levels

The combination of Preston and Child's writing combined with the amazing narration by Rene Auberjonois makes this series one of the best in my library. It is a rare and satisfying audiobook experience.

Mind blown!

Before the ending I would have rated this my least favorite Pendergast book. And then... THE ENDING!! WOW!

Rene Auberjonois, the Best Reader/Performer

I'd been listening to the Preston and Child Pendergast books in order, and this book, Wheel of Darkness, was the first I'd heard performed by Rene Auberjonois. I was stunned by how excellent his performance was. . . how far superior to any other Audible performer I'd ever heard. Just needed to say that.
Not to neglect Preston and Child, of whom I'm a huge fan. They never fail to enthrall, and they never fail to deliver a rich, tapestried thriller.

Different from the others but great

The plot of this story is different from the previous Pendergast books, but very enjoyable. The narration was perfect!

decent

why did they change narrators!? the book itself was great. please bring back scott brick!

great listen

the narrator makes the listening perfect for driving and walking. definitely recommend this version today.

Wheel of Darkness

I really enjoyed this book, love the ocean and agent Pendergast stories. This was one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to.

Wheel of darkness

Rene Auberjonois is an amazing performer! This was one of Pendergast’s more exciting and interesting adventures! It kept me completely enthralled from beginning to end! I can hardly wait for the next captivating story!

Exceptional!!! And more.

Every book in the Pentergast & Constance series is brilliant, thought-provoking, a terrible love triangle of the saddest kind, and full of excitement, thrill, danger and even love. This one, however, is extraordinary! From the authors' descriptions of the ship, people, crew, and much more, you really do begin to feel that you, too, are on that dangerous voyage. I was totally sucked in by this book, and I went quite willingly. I don't know how you do it. You must both be magicians!!!

I also wanted to express my sincere gratitude to both of you for keeping the intelligent reader engaged (yes, we're still out there; avoiding reality tv.). My 92 yr old mother's eyes were going, and since I'd been an Audible listener for many, many years, I convinced her to try it. She loves it!!!!!
She can "read" her "cozy" murder books again! It is due to people like you who have
made their books available in an audible format, that SO many more elderly, ill, disabled and lonely people a much more enjoyable existence. Thank you. Vanessa M Stenglein Milw,WI 53227
