Now, decades later, a second vault has been uncovered, this one resting where no one ever expected. And the problem is it's not ours. Yet even more curious than the vault itself is what lies inside.

The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who - or what - might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn't. Most, but not everyone.

Story
In the near future, political tensions between the United States and China are at an all-time high. Then a catastrophic explosion on the moon cleaves a vast gash in the lunar surface, and the massive electromagnetic pulse it unleashes obliterates Earth's electrical infrastructure. To plumb the depths of the newly created lunar fissure and excavate the source of the power surge, the feuding nations are forced to cooperate on a high-risk mission to return mankind to the moon.
Summary
Returning to Rome from a forced sabbatical, a newly appointed Jesuit cardinal discovers a dark force that has ruled a single family for over 700 years has been unleashed against the world. With the clock ticking, he joins with a dedicated group of Israeli and Spanish scientists who are thrust into an endgame scenario as they race across the globe in an effort to stop the greatest threat mankind has ever faced, only to discover that they may already be too late.
Once again, the meticulous research that has become the hallmark of author John Lyman's work is evident in this bone-chilling sequel to his best-selling novel God's Lions: The Secret Chapel, as listeners are transported into the cloistered world of archaeologists, code breakers, molecular biologists, and intelligence specialists who have discovered a hidden code within the pages of the Old Testament. Put on a pot of coffee. This must-listen thriller will bring out your creative side when you try to explain to your boss why you are late for work the next morning.

Almost
Good enough listen but don’t know if narrator or not but he doesn’t lend anything really. Voices of men almost same, women(?)
I rarely criticize a narrator but to make this book more than it is, either the narrator or the author needs to step up his game.
Enjoyable nonetheless & easy to follow.
Give it a try you might completely disagree.
