Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx

By: James Rollins

Narrated by: Pedro Pascal

Using his father's watch as a key, Jake intends to return to Calypsos. Instead he's thrust into a strange desert land where he's joined by his friends Marika, Pindor, and Bach'uuk and his sister, Kady. As they try to figure out what to do next, a surprise attack by the beautiful young Princess Nefertiti takes them all captive.

Soon even she is battling the Skull King's minions. For Jake has something the Skull King wants—a prize that will give its owner awesome power, including control of the fearsome Howling Sphinx. In a new pounding adventure, Jake races against time to outfight and outwit Kalverum Rex, knowing that if the Skull King wins, he'll be unstoppable.

Filled with unexpected danger, challenging puzzles, and dazzling action, this is a first-rate, fast-paced thriller—a read only James Rollins could have created!

Write another!

I love this series so much! I can't wait for another book to come out!!

where is the third book!

wish there was another book. Left off with it's set up for another book and there isn't one! But overall a good book

I need more!

The only thing wrong with this book is that there isn’t another in the series. Amazing!

Perfect balance of narration and story

I enjoyed the story, but I love Pedro Pascal’s narration. Many times a narrator’s choice of character voices can be grating and distracting. As an ADHD reader, distracting voices can easily take me out of a story. He was perfection! I also need James Rollins to get us a new addition!

Perfect for a family read or listen!!!

These books are wonderful for young adventurers! Perfect for the family long car trip, plane ride, or to use as summer reading. I am guessing 3rd-5th grade depending on the child.
