THE MOSES EXPEDITION

An obsessed billionaire arranges an expedition in Jordan to unearth the Ark of the Covenant. He takes with him a motley crew of unlikable characters with all sorts of hidden agendas, while the landscape swarms with religious fanatics. Murder abounds. The terrain and the weather don’t help. But narrator Pete Bradbury does. His smooth British voice handles arcane terminology and international accents equally well. When the tension heightens, Bradbury passes it along to the listener. A fast-paced story and a skilled narration make for good listening. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2011]
