The Vault

A Novel

By: Boyd Morrison

Narrated by: Boyd Gaines

National bestselling author Boyd Morrison brings back Tyler Locke, who must race to stop a terrorist cell that has stolen an ancient text related to the tale of King Midas in this, “heart-thumping ride…not to be missed” (Steve Berry).

Tyler Locke’s routine commute on a Washington State ferry is interrupted by a chilling anonymous call: his father has been kidnapped, and a truck bomb is set to detonate on board in twenty minutes. When Tyler reaches the bomb on the boat’s car deck, he’s stunned to find classical languages expert Stacy Benedict waiting for him. She’s received the same threat, and her sister has also been taken.

In order to disarm the bomb, Tyler and Stacy must work together to solve an engineering puzzle—a puzzle written in ancient Greek. But preventing the explosion is only the first step; they soon learn the entire setup is a test created by a ruthless criminal who forces them to go on a seemingly impossible mission: uncover the legendary lost riches of King Midas.

Tyler and Stacy have just five days to track down the gold. Armed with an ancient manuscript penned by brilliant Greek inventor Archimedes, they begin a quest to unravel a two-thousand-year-old mystery whose answer is hidden within the workings of a cryptic artifact: the Antikythera Mechanism, a device designed by Archimedes himself. To save their loved ones and prevent their captors from recovering a treasure that will finance unspeakable devastation, the two scramble to Italy, Germany, Greece, and finally to the streets of New York City in a race against the clock to find the truth behind the story of King Midas.

The Vault combines an explosive premise and blistering pace with a fascinating exploration of one of history’s most intriguing inventors and a brilliant reimagining of an ancient legend.

Was a fun listen,

Great story, narrator was great and I’m looking forward to listening to more books from the series.

Another great adventure by Morrison

What did you like best about this story?

I like the way Morrison uses myths as the bases for his stories

Any additional comments?

Morrison always uses historical facts or myths in his book such as Noah's Ark and the Midas Touch.

He doesn't use the standards like Atlantis Which I like because how many times and way can you find Atlantis.

Not what I expected but...

Any additional comments?

This wasn't quite what I expected, but I found it a great listen. It was better than I anticipated. Worth a listen.

Thrilling

This book is another fast paced, action filled Tyler Locke adventure. It has it all! Tyler is such a great character and so modest, I thoroughly enjoyed this book now onto the next one in the series. The narrator Boyd Gaines does a fantastic job with it.

If you read The Ark, the Vault doesn't disappoint.

Another action packed novel by Morrison. I've been a true fan of the Tyler Locke novels. believed and likable characters, good sequences of action all with a believable, historical treasure hunt.
