Ancient Shadows by Best-Selling author Joanne Pence available now as Audiobook
Hello again dear audiobooks fans! After I reviewed the Ancient Echoes audiobook, the first novel in the Ancient Secrets Series of paranormal mysteries by Best-Selling author Joanne Pence a few months ago I founded myself thinking about the characters a lot, wanting to discover their new adventures.
As I already knew that there are more books in this series, I reached out to the author and asked to review the next one, called Ancient Shadows. I am more than halfway through it and am enjoying it as much as I did the first one.
The audiobook version of Ancient Shadows is performed by Tim Paige and it is 8 hours and 31 minutes in duration. From the Publisher’s Summary we find out the following plot lines.
One by one, a horror film director, a judge, and a newspaper publisher meet brutal deaths. A link exists between them, and the deaths have only begun….
Archeologist Michael Rempart finds himself pitted against ancient demons and modern conspirators when a dying priest gives him a powerful artifact – a pearl said to have granted Genghis Khan the power, eight centuries ago, to lead his Mongol warriors across the steppes to the gates of Vienna.
The artifact has set off centuries of war and destruction as it conjures demons to play upon men’s strongest ambitions and cruelest desires. Michael realizes the so-called pearl is a philosopher’s stone, the prime agent of alchemy. As much as he would like to ignore the artifact, when he sees horrific deaths and experiences – firsthand – diabolical possession and affliction, he has no choice but to act.
The dark legends are true. To stop the artifact’s evil, Michael must follow a path along the Old Silk Road to a land that time forgot and somehow find a place that may no longer exist in the world as he knows it.
From her page on Audible, we find out that Joanne Pence is the award-winning, USA Today best-selling author of two mystery series, the very long-running Angie Amalfi mysteries, and the new Rebecca Mayfield mysteries. She has also written historical fiction, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, a fantasy, and suspense. She hopes you’ll enjoy her stories as they present a variety of times, places and reading experiences from mysterious to thrilling, emotional, to lightly humorous, as well as powerful tales of times long past.
I will post the review this Weekend, but if the rest of the book is as good as the first 5 hours, this will be another unputdownable adventure for fans of Clive Cussler and others like him.
