The Lost Page

An Archaeological Thriller

By: Joe Edd Morris

Narrated by: Doug Greene

An unforgettable story of two courageous couples who risk everything for truth.

Amid a revolution, archaeologist Christopher Jordan and ancient manuscript expert Kathryn Ferguson travel to Syria in search of the original scroll of Marks' Gospel. Paralleling their quest is the story of the evangelist's escape with the scroll from the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., his struggles to complete the manuscript, and his journeys and efforts with the daughter of Peter the Apostle to protect and save it for the ages. For both couples, time is running out and enemies are closing in.

Richly evocative and fiercely moving, this literary thriller explores the hard questions: Did Mark intentionally omit the resurrection story, leaving it shrouded in mystery? Or did it become detached and lost forever?

Critic reviews

"A brilliant novel written with the authority of a scholar and the skill of a gifted storyteller." (Peggy Webb, USA Today best-selling author of The Language of Silence)

Interesting story, the premise was thought provoking

A bit uneven but mainly because of the artist doing the reading. I hope to read another one by this author but if it is read by the same person, I’ll pass on the Audible version.

Poor Narration

The narrator did not d a good job. He talked like like the sentences were run on. Character imitations were poor. I deleted the audible file. A waste of my time and money

history and New Beginnings begin

the story of the last page is quite entertaining, I don't believe it could be factual but it is a good story.

Worst I’ve Ever Suffered Through

I don’t write reviews because I feel authors brave enough to send their work out into the world don’t deserve my layman’s criticism of their work. This however is the exception to that rule. The story wasn’t strong, but I could have managed it if it had not been for the absolutely monotone and actually painful voice actor’s reading of it. I turned it off and just marked it finished because I couldn’t handle one more second of his voice and apparent lack of enthusiasm for the book. If I were the author, I would be furious at the recording of this. It was just extremely poorly done and is really a disservice to the author and to the reader. I’ll be cautious in the future to never purchase another book read by him.

Intriguing idea but drawn out and made uninteresting by a clearly bored narrator.

I have been listening to audio books for many years and I can honestly say I have never heard such a disengaged narrator. I finished the book, but it was a painful listen.
