Gold in the Keys: A Logan Dodge Adventure

Florida Keys Adventure Series, Book 1

De: Matthew Rief

Narrado por: Adam Riley

In 1521, the Aztec treasure, considered to be the greatest ever assembled, vanished from the capitol city of Tenochtitlan. Almost five centuries later, former Navy SEAL Logan Dodge finds a mysterious gold coin off of a secret ledge in the Florida Keys. When he learns the origin of the coin, he goes on a mission to find and secure the treasure for the people of Mexico.

But he’s not the only one who’s caught the scent of gold. A notorious Mexican drug cartel known as Black Venom is right on his heels and will stop at nothing to take the treasure for themselves. With the help of one of his old Navy buddies, a notorious mercenary, a beach bum Key West charter captain, and a marine geologist, Logan races to find the treasure and take down the drug cartel while he’s at it.

Gold in the Keys is a shoot-‘em-up, beat-‘em-up, speedboat-chasing, get-the-girl, treasure-hunting romp in the Florida Keys.

Decent story, just couldn’t keep my attention

Just ok, each chapter went from 0-100. They were relaxing on the boat, then there was gun fire 2 seconds later.

Eye roll…

Lots of unnecessary action just for the sake of filling pages. It’s kind of a neat premise which is the reason for three stars. Could be four stars. But besides the promising start it turns predictable and formulaic. I think my 23 year old son would,Ike it—he likes a lot of action, it’s fairly short, and he hasn’t read some of the more established authors in this genre. The performance was average as he didn’t change voices much.

I I love this series

it's my guilty pleasure. So full fun and it's just detailed enough to not be boring, but still creates a compelling story to keep me listening.

searching for lost treasurr

loved it with more than enough suspense, you knew he would find the treasure but not what awaited in his path

don't bother

not mitch rapp or Scott Horvath. waste of my time. that's a few hours I'll never get back

Good story but....

It is a good story but I wasn't really feeling it as far as narration was concerned... The story paid to close attention to minor details which I feel was done to try and make the book seem longer overall. And the narrator just didn't have that natural feel.....

Simplistic and Unrealistic

This is not the quality of Thor, Taylor, Flynn, or Greaney - not even close. The story is rather bubble gum, the characters simplistic and lacking depth. It is a bit James Bondish with girls throwing themselves at Logan, he has all the money he needs, gets the gadgets ... This might be a good summer vacation beach book ... nothing all that suspenseful, moves along, unrealistic and generally entertaining.

enjoyed

lots of action
good guy always wins
always good looking girls
nice setting and weather

enjoyed this book

I enjoyed this book, good story, great locations, I with more of this series. having been born in Florida and lived in the keys it helped me remember areas and places I have been and enjoyed.

Storyline interesting. Language too simplistic almost as if a high school sophomore wrote it.
