The Grail

Area 51, Book 5

By: Robert Doherty, Bob Mayer

Narrated by: Martin Gollery

The Grail is another knockout from New York Times best-selling author Bob Mayer writing as Robert Doherty.

The Holy Grail - is it the key to a miracle...or a terrifying truth? The Great Wall of China, the immense carvings on Easter Island, Egypt's pyramids, UFOs: What is the chilling connection? The answer, unearthed by an elite band of soldiers and scientists based at Area 51, is rewriting human history - to include the aliens who shaped it!

Now, in this heart-pounding novel, Area 51 personnel embark on a top-secret search for the Holy Grail, a glittering artifact with the power to save the world...or lead to its destruction.

Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte has paid his dues in battle and in blood. Now assigned to Area 51, he fights the toughest enemy of his career: the alien race who arrived on Earth millennia ago and have returned to claim the planet.

Mike has dodged bullets and faced weapons of mass destruction to give humanity another day of reprieve. But when his lover, scientist Lisa Duncan, falls into evil hands, Mike must decide which prize means the most to him - the woman he loves or the legendary Grail. It's a decision that could damn him...or damn us all.

They didnt finish editing audio goofs out

did not care for narrator tone and pace. many instances where audio mistakes were left in audiobook.

Bad narrator

I didn’t like the person narrating or reading the story, it seems like he lost his place several times and his pronunciation of words left much to be desired. In short, he was boring.

the narrator just kept messing up and it wasn't edited out

the narrator did a very very poor job. I guess I would have to say also the producer did a very poor job, since ultimately he's the one that was responsible for the final product

For KU subscribers, DO NOT BUY NARRATION!

I often find that the modest cost of adding narration to a KU book is worth it. NOT HERE.

And I am not finished with the book.

Save your money and read the book from print. The narration is excruciating. This is not a professional voice actor. I am flummoxed as to where they found him. He has no vocal range whatsoever. He is unable to voice the simplest of accents.

For those of us who have followed the books from the beginning, you expect a Chinese woman, an African man, an American commando, and a Russian to sound uniquely distinctive. Nope.

Save your money and enjoy this book in print. Happy new year!

Painful to listen to...

Story was great. Narrator reminded me of the kid Billy Madison made fun of. Pathetic job Martin Gollery.
