About this listen

An ill-fated ocean liner on a tragic date with destiny…

A cursed Egyptian mummy on its way to the New World…

A frantic race against time…

April, 1912. With Mina still missing, and no clue to her whereabouts, John Decker has spent the last four months frantically searching. But now he might have found her. There's only one problem. He will have to board one of the most infamous ocean liners in history in order to get her back. The RMS Titanic.

With no other choice, he follows her aboard, intending to disembark in Queenstown before the mighty ship steams toward her deadly encounter with an iceberg. But it might not be that simple. The men who abducted Mina will not let her go without a fight. There are other problems, too. An ancient Egyptian mummy in the hold that might not be as dead as everyone thinks, and a dangerous enemy Decker has encountered before who have their own plans for the mummy… and Mina.

John Decker might just have found himself in the worst situation of his life. A situation with no way out.

John Decker continues his adventures in the early 20th century, trying to find a way back to our time. Compounding the problem is that his time tossed companion, Mina, has been kidnapped by an organization with similar goals as their own, Order Of Saint George, but with far fewer morals. One thing leads to another and soon they are all aboard the HMS Titanic on it's doomed maiden voyage. Joining them on board are two vampires who seek to revive a much older and more powerful vampire being transported, as a presumed mummy in the hold of the ship. A relaxing cruise is not in the cards.

My only issue is with the narrator. Overall, he does fine, but his women's voices, particularly of Mina, need work as they sound very generic and a bit like someone imitating the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and await the next in the series to be released and the audio backlog to catch up with the printed editions.

This is the first time I've listened to one of Strong's books, and it will be the last. The narrator almost caused me to remove my headphones. He speed reads, to the point where several times I checked narration speed in the app. He finishes one chapter and doesn't even draw a breath before announcing the next chapter.

His pronunciation is odd. He's American. We say South Hampton, emphasis on the second syllable. He says SOUTH empton, emphasis on first syllable and practically swallowing the rest. Some words that end in "s" sound like zees. There's no accounting for his peculiar placement of emphasis, where he chooses to use it. His attempts at individual voices grate on the ears

The story was interesting enough, but that may be because anything to do with Titanic interests me. The story was entirely predictable. If you haven't read the previous books, this one may be hard to understand.

Overall, a disappointing experience.
