Story is good.

Story is pretty solid and fun. Kinda cookie cutter sometimes, but still a decent, fun ride.

irritating action and characters

Book had potential but the repetitive mistakes and desire for unnecessary action sequences ruined it. The supposedly smart characters make the same mistakes over and over. The author seemed to just try to figure out how much more ridiculous of action sequences he can do and rinses and repeats. Big shame as it could have been a great series to get into.

Outstanding, exactly.The swathbrush, clean kind of story I was looking for

Love the story, love the characters as usual. He's headed out of the park. This is a great book

It never slowed down

Great story line, well written and can’t wait to listen to the next one in the series

Great Origin Story

I thought the book started out great. continued to do well with plenty of action, but about the last 4 or 5 hours , I just couldn't stop listening. I mean, it was literally just one chase scene, after chase scene, after chase scene. When it was all done I was a little disappointed because I wanted more

Predictable

It was not thrilling enough for me. I knew the bad guy scheme before it was introduced. It was entertaining. I’m just a hard audience.

This series is by far the best I have found

This series is by far the best I have found when I started listening to this book I couldn't stop and so far every book has been the exact same way if they can follow the book closely this series would make excellent movies and I hope one day they will

Loved this book!

The narration on this book is perfection! I absolutely love Nina and Eddie and encourage anyone looking for an Indiana Jones style story a tiny bit of romance to jump right in!

Action, mystery, possibilities

Nice story line with action and mystery. Well read, with good movement and characters!

A slow start, then very exciting

Wasn't sure I'd like this, the first few chapters was a lot of info about Atlantis that I already knew but the characters started to grow on me and the story turned out to be very exciting with several unexpected twists, especially towards the end. The actions scenes were well described, the narrator really brought it to life.
