God's Lions: Rise of the Beast

House of Acerbi

By: John Lyman

Narrated by: David Colacci

Returning to Rome from a forced sabbatical, a newly appointed Jesuit cardinal discovers a dark force that has ruled a single family for over 700 years has been unleashed against the world. With the clock ticking, he joins with a dedicated group of Israeli and Spanish scientists who are thrust into an endgame scenario as they race across the globe in an effort to stop the greatest threat mankind has ever faced, only to discover that they may already be too late.

Once again, the meticulous research that has become the hallmark of author John Lyman's work is evident in this bone-chilling sequel to his best-selling novel God's Lions: The Secret Chapel, as listeners are transported into the cloistered world of archaeologists, code breakers, molecular biologists, and intelligence specialists who have discovered a hidden code within the pages of the Old Testament. Put on a pot of coffee. This must-listen thriller will bring out your creative side when you try to explain to your boss why you are late for work the next morning.

All around good

I really enjoyed it. Good story and well read. Definitely listen to part one before starting this book.

FANTASTIC

As I progress through the series, I love each book more! I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore. But these books, bring back memories of my youth! It's not so much about religion, but humanity! Love, love the mystery and the supernatural aspect to faith in general. Looking forward to the 3rd one.

enough with the superlatives!

everything and everyone can't be "the best"
from the people to the wine, it gets tiring.

Problems with audio

I really enjoyed this book but the audio interrupted numerous times and I missed some dialogue and had to guess what happened.

Wonderful!

A great storyline, engaging characters and wonderful narration. Well worth the read and credit, you won't be disappointed.
