À propos de cet audio
To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a dangerous odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all too present in this pause-resisting thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author James Rollins that combines cutting-edge science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action.
For eons, the city of Troy - whose legendary fall was detailed in Homer’s Iliad - was believed to be myth, until archaeologists in the 19th century uncovered its ancient walls buried beneath the sands. If Troy was real, how much of Homer’s twin tales of gods and monsters, curses and miracles - The Iliad and The Odyssey - could also be true and awaiting discovery?
In the frozen tundra of Greenland, a group of modern-day researchers stumble on a shocking find: a medieval ship buried a half-mile below the ice. The ship’s hold contains a collection of even older artifacts - tools of war - dating back to the Bronze Age. Inside the captain’s cabin is a magnificent treasure that is as priceless as it is miraculous: a clockwork gold map imbedded with an intricate silver astrolabe. The mechanism was crafted by a group of Muslim inventors - the Banu Musa brothers - considered by many to be the Da Vincis of the Arab world - brilliant scientists who inspired Leonardo’s own work.
Once activated, the moving map traces the path of Odysseus’s famous ship as it sailed away from Troy. But the route detours as the map opens to reveal a fiery river leading to a hidden realm underneath the Mediterranean Sea. It is the subterranean world of Tartarus, the Greek name for Hell. In mythology, Tartarus was where the wicked were punished and the monstrous Titans of old, imprisoned.
When word of Tartarus spreads - and of the cache of miraculous weapons said to be hidden there - tensions explode in this volatile region where Turks battle Kurds, terrorists wage war, and civilians suffer untold horrors. The phantasmagoric horrors found in Homer’s tales are all too real - and could be unleashed upon the world. Whoever possesses them can use their awesome power to control the future of humanity.
Now, Sigma Force must go where humans fear to tread. To prevent a tyrant from igniting a global war, they must cross the very gates of Hell.

Histoire
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there’s either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills - and there’s nothing wrong with Joe Ledger’s skills. And that’s both a good and a bad thing. It’s good because he’s a Baltimore detective who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can’t handle....

Can't wait to listen again!!
Every time I had to pause I counted down until I could start again. The narrator added something I didn't know I was missing when I read the book. AMAZING!!!!

Action Packed Adventure
This was an enjoyable ride with tons of action, surprises, adventure, and historical information.
When a research team discovers incredible artifacts in Greenland, they quickly become targets for a dangerous secret society bent on destruction. After one of the researchers is kidnapped, an elite, secretive force must come together to rescue her and uncover a host of secrets that should have remained buried.
While the characters are fun and easy to relate to, I wish there had a been a little more depth to them. I found some to be quite interesting, but most felt a little flat to me at times, the villains a little too tropey. That said, these books are made to entertain and educate, and in that, they excel.
The story takes our protagonists, and antagonists, all over the world. In that time, readers get to learn about certain historical events, which I found to be very interesting, though sometimes it felt like a little too much of a lesson.
Not to worry though, because that’s when the action kicked in, and there was plenty of action. I really admired the creativity and descriptions Rollins provided, since it made the plot play out like an action movie.
Though I wish there had been more depth to the characters, the writing is smart and fun, and I can see this being a book to be enjoyed over a vacation of summer weekend. Recommended for fans of history and action packed thrillers!

Still my favourite author
I never come away from reading a Rollins book disappointed and The Last Odyssey was no different. Fast paced action, humour and the most intriguing stories. I always wish there were more and more details especially when he’s covering ancient civilizations. I use audio books to keep me awake while driving and the narrator does a wonderful job of instilling emotions that I can easily imagine these long time characters having and expressing. Absolutely loved it and it was in my thoughts for weeks afterwards. Must listen for sure!
