Summary

The ultimate duo - Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase - return in their ninth action-packed adventure.

Secrets from the past emerge to threaten archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, former SAS soldier Eddie Chase, when a Viking runestone is stolen by a murderous gang of raiders.

The stone holds the key to an ancient evil concealed in one of Norse mythology's holiest places: Valhalla.

Travelling to Sweden, Eddie and Nina find themselves in a race against time to locate the legendary hall of the Viking warriors - before rival powers claim its deadly contents for themselves. It is a quest that will force Eddie to revisit a dark chapter from his mercenary days that he has kept hidden from everyone...including his wife.

Only Nina and Eddie can prevent the unleashing of a primordial terror from the depths of the Earth. But even if they succeed, will the cost be greater than either of them could have ever imagined....

Fast moving and a bit cheesy

But it was entertaining all the same and good for down time between heavy bouts of work.

Characterisation

The characterisation by Gareth Armstrong is brilliant - particularly his one for Eddie. Thanks Gareth, you brought the book to life.

Good entertainment for cleaning the house

This audiobook is entertaining and brilliant for listening while cleaning the house or exercising. Doesn't require lots of thinking but makes the chores much more enjoyable.

Don't do it

Oh my goodness when I want an action adventure I don't want to hear about an improbable couple deciding whether or not to have children.
The reader is an agony of clichéd accents which just ends up as a soup of voices ruining credibility.
They are meant to be in their 30s but talk in a completely old fashioned way and have as much sexual chemistry as a hamburger paper.
I can't spoil the end for you because I just couldn't bring myself to listen to it!

Top Story with more sense of jeopardy

It was difficult to get used to the alternative narrator/performer (as others have mentioned). By no means bad but female voices must be very difficult and NINA reminded me of Mickey Mouse every time. I’m not 100% sold on her character realism and development this many books in.
The stories bring me back and this was exceptionally interesting. With the movement between time periods equally balanced and interesting. Eddie is a good protagonist. Unconventional …. A little. But what next…?

Good Story, Poor Narration

Good story but the narrator was again poor the voices are terrible. The Swedish accent sounded more like welsh.
I do like these books but they are difficult to listen to with this narrator.

Awful

Absolutely gutted to have to rate this as awful. How on earth this narrator got the contract, I will never know. Accents were terrible and at best, some of them were like comedy. I have bought and listen to all of the books in this series, I toyed with buying this as the previous narration wa so bad. I tried to get through it but this guy is awful. I will be requesting a refund and will purchase NO audiobooks with him narrating.

Enjoyable but not one of my favourites

I liked how it jumped back and forth between the past and the present as it created a different flow from the other books which was enjoyable. Andy has a clever way of bringing old characters back into the mix while adding new ones. All that said I didn’t enjoy the book as a whole as much as the others which I think was more about me not getting into this story like others mainly due to not really getting into the artefact the story is wrapped around.
