About this listen
‘Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart . . . packs a real punch’ Andy McDermott
AN ANCIENT SWORD. A LONG BURIED SECRET.
ONE MAN WILL UNCOVER THE MYSTERY.
It’s Christmas, and on a trip back to the UK to try to sort out his stormy personal life, ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope runs into two old friends. Simeon and Michaela were once his fellow students at Oxford – now they are the Reverend and Mrs Arundel.
Ben senses that Simeon is deeply troubled and frightened, but before the truth can emerge about his secretive research project concerning a mysterious, ancient ‘sacred sword’, both he and Michael are wiped out in a devastating road crash. Convinced that his friends’ deaths were no accident, Ben is propelled on a global quest to unlock the enigma of the sacred sword. At every step, he is pursued by ruthless agents of the sinister organisation that will stop at nothing to acquire it.
In the course of his investigations, Ben will discover an incredible secret, not just about the history of Christianity but about his own past.
The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins…
Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the seventh book in the series.

why change the narrator?
nothing worse than changing the narrator halfway through a series. other then that it should have been a 5 star but I have to give a 3 because of this.

Different narrator but still wonderful
I’m just devouring this series and I love it. You need to listen at 1.4X though. Exactly what I expect from another Ben Hope thriller. Great listen. Well worth the price of admission.

Cringe-worthy depiction of females and young adult
Mariani's depiction of the behavior of females and young adults is cringe-worthy. If Mariani's book is a reflection of his own actual experience of females and young adults, then I feel very sorry for him. His depiction of the character Jude is excruciating and has actually turned me away from his series.

Sigh
I know it's bad when I was hoping Jude would catch a stray. Praying he doesn't feature too much more in this series
