Publisher's summary

Diver Ulysses Vidal finds a fourteenth-century bronze bell of Templar origin buried under a reef off the Honduras coast. It turns out it's been lying there for more than one century, prior to Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. Driven by curiosity and a sense of adventure, he begins the search for the legendary treasure of the Order of The Temple. Together with a medieval history professor and a daring Mexican archeologist they travel through Spain, the Mali desert, the Caribbean Sea, and the Mexican jungle. They face innumerable riddles and dangers, but in the end this search will uncover a much more important mystery. A secret, kept hidden for centuries, which could transform the history of humankind, and the way we understand the universe.

Pleasant Mystery

The story was well paced and engaging. The only negative would be the ending gave you answers but wasn't as climactic or enticing as expected. Still very entertaining and enjoyable.

Just…no

This was not the archeological thriller I was expecting. I don’t even know how best to describe this awful collection of words as a book. For starters, the characters were inconsistent, foolish, and all basically the same. Their personalities shifted constantly to where I couldn’t tell them apart, they made stupid choice after stupid choice that a normal person would never make given the circumstances, and their limited of what was “wrong” changed from sentence to sentence. I’d it wrong to mess with a church? Not to one character but that same character wouldn’t say the name Jesus or even look at his bones two seconds later. Are there alligators in the river? Yes, but swimming in that river should be fine. Sure we are being held hostage by mercs, let’s just have sex in a tent. None of it made sense!

Additional note; the only reason the two characters got together is because Casey was the ONLY female character on the book. So stupid.

The ending was the worst of it. We spent the whole book looking for gold only to find the bones of Jesus and we are to believe that our non-religious characters were so moved by the priest’s speech that they won’t relive their discovery? Authors should know better than to shove religion down our throats like that. It’s just rude and it ruined any chance you had to end the story well.

The narration was also badly done. His tone was all over the place, his voices were inconsistent, and he constantly paused randomly in spots that should not have had pauses.

Do not read/listen to this book
