But even as they enter the gate to this extraordinary place, savage grackyls soar across the sky, diving to attack. Jake's new friends, the pretty Mayan girl Marika and the Roman Pindor, say the grackyls were created by an evil alchemist - the Skull King. And as Jake struggles to find a way home, it becomes obvious that what the Skull King wants most is Jake and Kady, dead or alive.

Editorial reviews
With his Jake Ransom series James Rollins uses his adeptness at exploring the mysterious and thrilling and gears it towards a younger audience. Jake and his sister, Kady, are drawn into a fantastic adventure prompted by a letter and an artifact from one of their long-missing parent's expeditions. But when they discover a strange and savage land that may have been the cause of their parents' disappearance they find that the evil Skul King wants to make sure that they also disappear. Pedro Pascal gives a steady performance of this audiobook, hushed and intense, that accentuates the enigmatic tone of the story making it palpable to young or old listeners.

I’m so thrilled that he continued his pattern of telling readers what was based in science and history at the end of the book. It’s one of my favorite things about his writing.
Excellent book!

Would you consider the audio edition of Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow to be better than the print version?
Have not read the print version, but the performance was enjoyable. Albeit with a bit too much overture music between chapters.What other book might you compare Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow to and why?
This compares well to the Harry Potter series and the Rick Riordan books - but with less magic and a little more science. Although some of the science is a bit magic-y.Have you listened to any of Pedro Pascal’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not. But this was very well done and pleasant to listen to.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Nothing jumps out as specifically moving, but I did find the early bits of Jake's normal home/school life to be fascinating and insightful.Any additional comments?
High adventure for the middle school crowd. Time travel - monsters - a Land Of The Lost - what more could you ask for? A good start to the series. Recommended.A YA Series For Those Who Prefer Science To Magic
