Of Blood and Stone: A Bill Evers Novel

By: Howard Upton

Narrated by: Benjamin G. Powell

When former Iraqi and Afghanistan war veteran Bill Evers is recruited to track down a mystical artifact that has been stolen from a Mexican museum, he initially refuses. After learning the cartouche is cursed, and that it contains powers that could likely destroy the world if it falls into wrong hands, he feels duty bound to accept the mission.

Dan Dugan, known for his time spent as a contractor for Blackwater and later as a gun runner, will stop at nothing to get his hands on the cartouche, including killing anyone who stands in his way. He desperately wants the cartouche, as it could be worth billions and possibly make him the most powerful man in the world. At the same time, it could lead to the end of the world as we know it.

This high-paced, nonstop, action adventure follows Evers on his mission to seek out the cartouche and attempt to stop Dugan from unleashing hell on Earth. Martial arts action, intrigue, murder, magic, and mayhem await!

Interesting tale!

I enjoyed the story, which is written in a style similar to Clive Cussler. Lots of action, adventure ,intrigue , and a good dose of mystery / fantasy thrown in. I have to admit that I didn't care for the narrator though. He ran the various characters lines much too close together, and his cadence seem to be off in many places through out the book.
