Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler with Craig Dirgo, read by J. Charles.

When Cabrillo and his ship are hired by the US government to find an ancient statue known as the Golden Buddha, stolen from the Dalai Lama in 1959, the stakes couldn't be higher. Success of failure will determine the future of Tibet. Playing the Russians off against the Chinese while battling against mysterious forces who will do anything to stop them, the crew of the Oregon face a formidable foe. But like his extraordinary ship, the enigmatic Juan Cabrillo has more than a few aces up his sleeve...

Its not the greatest of the oregon books. But its better to read than listen to this version. The narrator tries very hard and some accents arent too bad but his rhythm and timing is terrible

Narrator makes it a hard listen

I can't say whether this is a good story. The narrator makes it impossible to listen to. It sounds like he took lessons on languages and accents from the Swedish chef from the Muppets. It is THAT bad. Over the top and to the point where the seemingly random jumps from exaggerated accent to even more exaggerated accent makes it so difficult to figure out who is talking that it completely distorts any attempt at following the storyline.

Of the hundreds of audiobooks with a multitude of narrators, both trained pros and authors doing their own narration, that I have listened to over the years, this stands out as the absolute worst. I honestly don't know how it ever made it out of production.

Too much Swedish chef
