About this listen

The ancient world is not what we thought.

In the city of Prague, freelance treasure hunter Jules has finally located the bangle stolen from his dying mother, an artifact that may unravel a centuries-old secret: the location of an ancient tomb hidden from the world by one of Christ's disciples.

But when a reclusive, ruthless billionaire beats him to the artifact, Jules joins forces with an institute of unconventional archaeologists who reveal to him clues penned two thousand years ago. Clues that support the claim his mother's bangle holds properties that science cannot explain.

And Jules appears to be the only person who can activate them—a responsibility that will tempt him toward the dark path he has avoided all his life.

As both parties race to decipher the bangle's origins, they uncover a trail meant only for the holiest of men, leading to an apostle's manuscript, the hunt for a tomb alleged to conceal great power, and a breathless, globe-trotting adventure that threatens to destroy them all.

If you enjoy the Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Cussler, James Rollins' Sigma Force books, or the Ben Hope series by Scott Mariani, you'll love this new international action adventure thriller.

From Prague to London, Europe to Asia, Tomb of the First Priest launches the Lost Origins series, each book charting a new story exploring gaps in humanity's long history.

I really struggled with this book.
I liked the story and that’s what made me finish it but the narration was terrible.
I couldn’t tell one character from another unless he was murdering the British accents and everything was delivered in monotone.
If you’re going to try deliver accents then at least do some research, poor Scottish accents do not remotely pass for Welsh!

Stores was good

The voice of the narrator kept me engaged. The fact that he seamlessly transitioned from one character to the next was amazing!

I stayed glued

Could they have found a more flat voiced narrator who can't and shouldn't do accents? No, they could not. Shame as the story was decent. The 5 star review is a member of the narrator's family 😆

Entertaining enough but the narrator! 🤯

Too slow and monotonous. Easy to lose what's going on. Not inspiring to make me want to keep picking it up.

I really enjoyed the story and the way the author weaved a number of popular hypotheses into the tale. The narration however was awful. Almost no differentiation between characters, terrible accents and all delivered in monotone. Pity, this could have been a great listen spoiled by the reader.

Great story, terrible narration!
