By: Graham Hancock

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam, Graham Hancock - introduction

Length: 17 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Graham Hancock has spent decades researching and writing some of the most ambitious and successful nonfiction investigations into ancient civilizations and wisdom. Entangled uses all of Hancock's skills and knowledge to propel a fantasy adventure like nothing else preceding it. This is a time-slip novel, alternating between present-day California, Brazil, and prehistoric Spain, with two teenage female protagonists who must come together to avert an incredibly bloodthirsty takeover of the human race.

Entangled is the first book in a trilogy relating the story of an unrelentingly evil master magician named Sulpa who is on the loose and determined to destroy humanity. Leoni, a troubled teen from modern-day Los Angeles, and Ria, a young woman who lives in Stone Age Spain, meet in a parallel dimension outside the flow of time to stop Sulpa's spectacular, deadly materialization in the modern world. Riding a growing wave of interest in parallel dimensions and imaginary worlds (The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Golden Compass are recent Hollywood examples), Entangled will have immediate appeal to readers and listeners of Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman,and Kate Mosse, among others.

But Entangled has the added merit of being grounded in solid anthropological and scientific research. Hancock calls on his years of research into cutting-edge issues, including the "Neanderthal enigma", the nature of consciousness, the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, parallel realms, time travel, and near-death and out-of-body experiences.

Approachable view of time entanglement.

I didn't know if I would like this book, but I got very into it. The two main female characters are young, and the narrator definitely portrays this. That being said, there was a lot of brutality that was not for the young at all. I see why there had to be this brutality, however, as they are fighting a demon, and I appreciate that it wasn't sugar coated or down played into mildness like many stories. It also makes you more involved with what's at stake if the protagonists lose. I was rooting for the good guys and hanging onto the story.

I absolutely love this book. Graham Hancock is evolving into an amazing writer, his ability to bridge history and fantasy in such a captivating way is unrivaled. really great job, I cant wait for part 2.
Khristine Hvam does a wonderful job narrating this story. Using different and identifiable voices for each character and even a few sound effects here and there she brought the story to life in a fantastic way. Really enjoyed listening to this book.

Great story.

A bit bloody at times. But it's a good romp through time and space.

Fantastic historical fiction!

Better story than I expected, frankly. I really hope Graham gets the sequel done soon.

Can you handle it? Buckle up!

it's difficult to notice the difference between the fantasy elements and the anthropological facts at times.

loved i

would love to visit Spain and see some of those Neanderthal site's they've found

""Crack!!"" and Hancock knocks it out of the park!

What made the experience of listening to Entangled the most enjoyable?

Right now at this time in my life I am just a really captivated by the idea and stories regarding our alternative origins as human beings. Also the fact that I'm familiar with Hancock and his work, and chose to read this book because it was a novel and he used his life's research in a fiction based story format. The narrator; well – I don't think there's anybody that could have done it any better she was absolutely awesome, spot on. She WAS each individual character... Bravo!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

– Both of the girls I'd say. I like the passion of the girl from the past but I could relate more to the girl from current time

Have you listened to any of Khristine Hvam and Graham Hancock (Introduction) ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I may have teared up a time or 2 but for the most part the extreme reaction was just constant captivation

Any additional comments?

Yeah – I was very upset to see that Graham Hancock's newest book, and if I understand correctly is also as a novel, is in pre-order status. I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!

Amazing!

Definitely a awesome tale. Hope there will be a volume 2. Graham has tuned in to the past for this one. Seems so plausible it feels real.

I'm Ready for the Sequel!

Any additional comments?

Hancock does a great job of incorporating his knowledge of ancient history and shamanic cultures with fantasy in this story. At times the story seems a little overworked but all in all it was an engaging listen and when it came to it's abrupt cliffhanger ending I immediately looked up the sequel (which is unfortunately not available on Audible). If and when the sequel is released on Audible I will definitely purchase it and see where the story leads.
