About this audiobook

‘This 5-star thriller is a non-stop action-packed adventure... Reads like the latest blockbuster film... I was left breathless, my heart pounding as I turned the last page’ NetGalley review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You’ve cracked the Da Vinci code, now uncover the Vatican secret...

The deepest secrets are kept in the darkest places.

When ex-MI5 operative Joe Mason is sent to Rome to guard an elderly professor and his daughter, he thinks he’s in for an easy ride.

But on their first day in the Vatican secret archives, a masked assassin gains entry, shoots Joe’s client in cold blood and steals an ancient manuscript. Giving chase, Joe can’t imagine what could lie within those pages that would make someone willing to kill.

The search for answers leads Joe and his comrades in a race against time, across continents and into treacherous mountains. Only they have a hope of rescuing the Vatican Book of Secrets before a centuries-old enemy can succeed in bringing Rome – and the world as we know it – crashing down...

The Da Vinci Code meets Die Hard in this fast-paced, adrenaline-filled, action-adventure thriller. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Clive Cussler, The Vatican Secret will have you turning the pages late into the night.

It was all too easy, too complicated, and too wanna be. sounds like this author read one of Dan Browns books and thought let's make this less historical facts, but still pepper some quick easy facts that can be found online, and throw in a couple military disgraced officers and boom we got this book. I was hoping I would like it, but from the get go I was struggling with the story line. In addition, the secret that would change the world, or Christianity, was lame!! So many better and more intriguing secrets could have been deviced! I almost spoiled it here, which I don't want to do, regardless of how lame I thought it was. You tell me what you think of this "secret"
