The Treasure

By: Harris L. Kligman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"The Treasure" is a multi-layered story composed of three books in one, but one continuous story about confiscated treasure, the people who witnessed or became privy to it, the society who protects it, and the struggle of the individuals who try to recover it.

The story begins with the capture of Judea by the Roman Legions in 70 a.d., and carries through to the dawn of Christianity, and the horrors of the second World War. An on-going struggle escalates between those who seek to protect what they have captured, from those who try to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

An Engaging Saga of Conflict and Intrigue

"The Treasure" by Harris Kligman is a captivating audiobook that seamlessly weaves together three interconnected narratives, creating a rich tapestry of historical events, hidden treasures, and compelling characters. As an avid reader of Kligman's previous work, particularly "The Profession," I found his signature style of intricate storytelling and well-developed characters present in "The Treasure."

The novel unfolds across centuries, starting from the Roman conquest of Judea in 70 A.D., traversing through significant historical periods like the dawn of Christianity, and culminating in the tumultuous era of World War II. Through vivid descriptions and meticulous attention to detail, Kligman paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by those involved in the quest for a confiscated treasure.

One aspect that stands out in both "The Treasure" and "The Profession" is Kligman's ability to craft multifaceted characters with complex motivations. In "The Profession," readers are introduced to Nancy Gault and Robert Monday, two operatives embroiled in a high-stakes mission that pits them against powerful adversaries. Similarly, in "The Treasure," the characters' desires, fears, and ambitions drive the narrative forward, making for a gripping listening experience.

Overall, "The Treasure" is a must-listen for fans of historical fiction, espionage, and adventure. Kligman's masterful storytelling and the seamless connection between past and present make this audiobook a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.
