About this listen

A lethal secret society. A priceless stolen treasure. A map worth killing for.

Relic smuggler and expert thief Guy Bodie is a tough man in a dangerous world, loyal only to his elite team of five. But when one of them betrays him, landing Guy in a hellish Mexican prison, he finds himself making a bargain with the most unlikely new ally: the CIA.

There is a catch. In return for being released from jail, Guy must work for the CIA, helping them solve the most audacious heist in history. As Guy knows, six of the Seven Wonders of the World have long been lost. But with the help of the CIA, he learns that the destroyed Statue of Zeus still exists - and it’s in the hands of a powerful secret society.

A prize worth killing for is also worth dying for, and this one has left a trail of bloodshed that goes back centuries. Can Guy and his new team - a group of renegades chosen for their unique skills - hunt down the legendary relic once and for all...before they are added to its list of victims?

Revised edition: This edition of The Relic Hunters includes editorial revisions.

This is a terrific read. I think it would make a super movie. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Action & Adventure galore!

The fight scenes were too drawn out, got boring. Will probably get next in series to see if it gets better. Wanted more history.

Good enough.

Contrary to other reviews, I loved the characters and the story plot. The beginning was a gotcha hooked. It was not a Clancy wannabe, it stood by itself. Better characters, significantly more action. Loved it.

Excellent

The CIA implausibly rescues Guy Body, the head of a gang of thieves who specialize in ancient relics. He CIA uses the group of thieves to go after the notorious Illuminati, who were formed in 1776 to work toward world domination. The story begins with an Illuminati-caused collapse of the Athens antiquities museum. Body’s gang and CIA agent, Heidi, go after the Illuminati “hood” that stole an important map just before the museum was destroyed. With the help of an archeology student who saw a copy of the map before it was stolen follow clues to the Illuminati headquarters. They fight for their lives at each map way point, but survive against overwhelming odds.

The story moved along nicely. Descriptions of localities were decently detailed. I, personally, found the characters a bit flat for my taste. Your mileage may vary.

The narrator had a pleasing deadpan delivery through much of the novel, but I’ve got to say his accents or dialect could use some work. Once again, this might just be my taste since I listen to quite a few UK accents.

I do like it enough that I will look for a sequel.

A well paced adventure

90% of this story was a search destroy and kill scene 10% of it was about the relics.

This was a good action packed adventure with nice twists and turns along the way. In my opinion, Chris Kudzneski does a much better job at this relic hunter genre. This book had an interesting plot and good characters but could have been better. Good book, worth a listen.

Action Packed Adventure!
