Empire of Gold

A Novel

By: Andy McDermott

Narrated by: Robin Sachs

A RUMOR OF RICHES. A MAZE OF MURDER. AND THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS, SOUGHT-AFTER PRIZE.

Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase possess extraordinary pieces of an ancient puzzle that leads them from Singapore to the jungles of South America. Inside a storm of political and drug warfare, Nina is getting close to one of history’s greatest secrets: the mythical golden city of El Dorado. As one discovery unveils another, Nina realizes that a legendary Incan leader made a deal with his Spanish captors—and hid forever the real El Dorado. Now, Nina and Eddie face a maze of death traps and betrayals, including one that reaches into Eddie’s past in Afghanistan, even into his own family in England. Behind a waterfall in Peru is an unfound wonder of the world. And to get there, Nina and Eddie may have to sacrifice everything: their friends, their love for one another, even their lives.

Critic reviews

“No fan of Indiana Jones, Matthew Reilly or action in general will be able to put it down.”—Northern Territory News, on The Pyramid of Doom

“Raises the bar to please adventure junkies who prefer to mainline their action.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review), on The Hunt for Atlantis

“Adventure stories don’t get much more epic than this.”—Daily Mirror (U.K.)

so good

I'm a big fan of this series but this is probably my favorite so far.

love this type of books.

will lessen to all of the series I'm sure it will be very enjoyable

Disappointed

Very disappointed that this book left you hanging! Did not like the narrator as much as others.

Great story, not so great narrator

The story was actually done really well, I really liked the ending. My only only complaint was the narrator and how he portrayed Nina's voice. It just sounded so masculine and not even close to a female voice. Overall it was enjoyable, just like I said I didn't like Nina's voice in this book

avid fan doesn't like new narrator

I have listened to all the books by Andy McDermott and have so enjoyed them that I was so anxious for this new one only to be disappointed by the narrator - I enjoyed gildart and his voices for the characters I am having a hard time enjoying this one as much - hard to follow story and make out distinctions between characters - bring back Gildart!
