East of Desolation

By: Jack Higgins

Narrated by: Michael Page

Joe Martin had been on many salvage operations, but his gut feeling told him this one was different. The insurance company and the beautiful widow of the dead pilot had hired him to find out what he could about the crash, but some things were best left alone.

Before long, what should have been a routine mission becomes a hair-raising adventure packed with danger and betrayal. Then a batch of priceless emeralds are thrown into the equation, and Joe's life is on the line.

Terrible book and Awful Narrator

This book was awful and the narrator sounded like a drone - so incredibly boring. No voice inflection at all.

This is a book that you can let your mind go into the details like it’s a movie. Sitting and relaxing.

I see some of the other reviews and I strongly disagree. This is one of the books. I have listened to probably 30, even 40 times over the years. It’s just a relaxing blanket to listen to. Sorry if others disagree with that, but this is one of those go to books after listening to other intense books. Really really enjoy
