An exciting adventure!

This story brings together two ships and their surviving crew members on a remote island in search of a lost city of gold. However the modern American naval research crew member just happens to find herself in 1520 when she meets Jonah and the crew fighting a mysterious creature. The mysteries surrounding the island, the monsters there, how a naval ship from 1985 traveled to 1520, and the many secrets of different crew members made for a fascinating story. The narrator does an amazing job keeping the listener captivated by the tale.

Time travel, gods and aliens

It was an interesting story that kept me glued to my seat all day. I liked it but am left feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the ending. I expected more, at least more answers. What seems obvious to the writer is not necessarily so to the reader. I don’t need to be hit on the head but I don’t like being left scratching it.

Harry Frost, as always, was phenomenal.
