About this listen

Clive Cussler continues his thrilling NUMA Files with The Navigator.

Iraq, 2003: in the post-war looting of the treasures from Baghdad's antiquities museum, a legendary Phoenicean statue is stolen . . .

Known as the Navigator, the statue points back to the days of King Solomon and is the vital clue to a secret of unimaginable power. Lucky then that UN investigator Carina Mechadi recovers it quickly. But a daring raid by helicopter in Iceberg Alley off Newfoundland and the statue is gone again - while Carina is only saved by the timely intervention of Kurt Austin of NUMA.

Now Austin and Carina are scouring the globe. Firstly, to track down the statue as it leaves a trail of murder and mayhem in its wake. And, secondly, to beat the thieves to the secret of the Navigator - for if it falls into the wrong hands, the world could be changed forever.

Clive Cussler, author of the bestselling Dirk Pitt series, and co-author Paul Kemprecos place their hero, Kurt Austin, in a globetrotting race against time in The Navigator, the seventh novel of the action-packed NUMA Files series.

I like Clive Cussler novels the way he brings Indiana Jones Ex Soecial forces and dastardly villains together with history, fables, legends and what could be into exciting adventures is very, very entertaining 😎

Great story, well read by Mr Brick, and kept you adsorbed in the story from start to finish.

Classic Cussler.

"We must go before it's too late!" expostulated the cliche-ridden stereotypical Englishman, who calls people "old boy" all the time. This book would do well as an adventure of Tin Tin and should be enjoyed by 12 year olds. The storyline is beyond ridiculous and leaves you breathless at it's audacity. All the good guys/gals are lovely, beautiful, muscular, lithe and very very fit. The baddie hit man has a "baby face" and oh how many times you are reminded of this - to the point you just want him to succeed and waste all the smug goodies as they race around the globe relying on huge coincidences and highly unlikely escapes from dire situations.

All in all several hours of complete nonsense. Escapism perhaps, but be prepared to suspend belief completely and pretend you are a young teen. My first and only Cussler book. It might make a good "B" movie. But then, perhaps not.

A Ridiculous Adventure

Scott Brick does another great job of bringing Clive's books and characters alive. Another journey around the globe and through history as this story twists and turns through intrigue and mystery. With a super villain, hero and maiden in distress who could want for more in an adventure tale. A difficult book to put down.

A good listen and a great story

Not sure what happened to this book,
Every time I started to enjoy the story it would just go a little to far.
The bad guy is a bit OTT and very predictable.
I really want to like this book more but unfortunately there was just a bit too much swashbuckling in some parts plus some parts seemed to be forced and really didn't need to be in this story.
It could of been a lot better and lacks the suspense and flow of the authors other books.
Don't get me wrong the story starts out great but from about half way through for me it just starts to deteriorate and gets almost childish, like it was written for a much younger audience.
To sum it up, starts out good gets a bit swashbuckling then drags out and the story drops off with a quick ending that lacked suspense.
It just about kept me entertained but I felt a little disappointed after such a good start to the story, sadly I won't be in a hurry to read further instalments

Sadly only ok
