Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Sacred Stone by Clive Cussler with Craig Dirgo, read by J. Charles.

Tens of thousands of years ago: a fist of stone punches through the Earth's atmosphere and falls on the snowy wastes of Greenland - its deadly secret waiting to be found by man...

The discovery of a radioactive meteorite in Greenland sends Juan Cabrillo and the crew of his hi-tech ship Oregon - in Iceland to seize a nuclear weapon from terrorists - on a second rescue mission: to retrieve the dangerous stellar object before someone unlocks the terrible properties it holds.


Unfortunately, Cabrillo is too late to prevent a fanatical group from spiriting the orb away. Now Cabrillo and his team aboard the Oregon have two problems: preventing the detonation of a nuclear bomb in London on New Year's Eve, and getting their hands on the meteorite before a madman uses it to start World War III...

Critic reviews

Cussler is hard to beat

The voice range of the narrator is limited, and the attempts to distort voices for phone / radio calls was unnecessary.

Great story, okay narration

Narrators should be able to do more than two accents for a country. I'm a proud Englishman and we have a multitude of accents from Geordie in the north, past Mancunian, Brummie, Fens, London, to Somerset.

This narrator can do two.
Downton Abbey Posh and Dick Van Dyke Cockney.
Irrespective of what the character was, one of these was trooped out. As a large part of this story is based in London, it got very disturbing.

Good Story, Shame about the terrible Accents.

This was my second time with this book, read it the first time and then listened to the audio book, the story is excellent as you would come to expect but the narration did not do it for me, hence the performance score.
I'm from Wales in the UK so I'm aware of the various dialects across the UK, this narrator seems to think EVERYONE speaks with either a posh accent or the American version of a cockney accent (think Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins and you'll get my drift).
Personally I recommend you read this book it's a brilliant action story and leave the audio book alone.

Great Story

In my opinion the story line was definitely Cussler but the execution missed by a country mile. Did Clive Cussler actually compose this book?

it just wasn't Clive Cussler

the story was great, however my only criticism was that the British accent was less than expected.
