My Opinion:
Since this was an audiobook, I'll start by telling you about the narrator, René Auberjonois. He has been on Boston Legal, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and The Practice. He has a smooth sound that is clear and easy to listen to. He made a great narrator.
The story starts out in Africa, and it was exciting. A stalker lion... who wouldn't like that?! I was instantly reminded of the movie, Ghost in the Darkness.
Then years passed and we end up in New Orleans. The action is slow at first, but not for very long. Pendergrast has a no bullshit attitude that I really respect. He is a very interesting character indeed.
Plus I learned afterward that Pendergrast, the man character, is a bit of a literary celebrity. Already penned into 6 books.
Interesting twists happen throughout the story, so much so, I want to read it in print format. A truly fabulous read, and I can't wait to read more on this character.

4/5

    The only one of their books I have read is The Relic and I loved that one. Rene Auberjonois has a great voice which would make listening really easy.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
