The Tenth Chamber

By: Glenn Cooper

Narrated by: Henri Lubatti

Abbey of Ruac, rural France: A medieval script is discovered hidden behind an antique bookcase. Badly damaged, it is sent to Paris for restoration, and there literary historian Hugo Pineau begins to read the startling 14th-century text. Within its pages lies a fanciful tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains - and a rudimentary map showing its position close to the abbey. Intrigued, Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard and the two men go exploring.

When they discover a vast network of prehistoric caves, buried deep within the cliffs, they realize that they've stumbled across something extraordinary. And at the very core of the labyrinth lies the most astonishing chamber of all, just as the manuscript chronicled. Aware of the significance of their discovery, they set up camp with a team of experts, determined to bring their find to the world. But as they begin to unlock the ancient secrets the cavern holds, they find themselves at the center of a dangerous game. One "accidental" death leads to another. And it seems that someone will stop at nothing to protect the enigma of the tenth chamber.

MORE LUAN TEA!

This book has so much in it I can't begin to explain it! Prehistoric Caves & people, monks, Templar Knights, archeology, frenchmdn, spys, Nazis, the Resistence, modern day sleuthing, longevity, teas with botanicals...AND THAT'S JUST A BIT! Listen to it for French if no other reason than its beauty of the language! A "can't stop listening" story!

I really enjoyed this fast-paced audible book

This Book was one that I found fast-paced with an interesting storyline there were parts of this storyline that reminded me of Clive Cussler book yet it was lacking in the high energy of a Clive Cussler book, so if you're looking for a good mystery in history then you'll enjoy this audiobook

Not a bad read.

I actually enjoyed the story. However, the narrator made me grit my teeth at times. When he was reading for certain characters, he wasn't bad, but the narration in general was just horrid. So bland and monotone, when it appears this gentleman actually is probably quite talented.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I enjoyed the premise of a long held secret passed on from generation to generation, and there were wonderful twists in the many subplots.

What does Henri Lubatti bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This is the first time I listened to Lubatti, and at first I thought I had made a mistake, but it became a happy mistake. While his narration itself was hard to get used to, he is fantastic at bringing the various characters to life with different voices. I am glad I stuck with the novel for the plot, but also for the performance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I pretty much did use any spare time I had to devour this book.

Interesting concept

This book has a fascinating concept. Following the discovery of a cave in France, archeologists discover a miracle solution to enhance people's lives. There's plenty of action and adventures to follow. Read by a clear voiced man that actually pronounces all the French words correctly!
