The Chaos Code

By: Justin Richards

Narrated by: uncredited

Matt Stribling is stuck spending another vacation with his brilliant, yet scatterbrained archaeologist father. His dad's house is often a mess, so when Matt arrives to find the place turned upside down and his father missing, he's not immediately worried. But a cryptic message and some strange sandy footprints quickly persuade Matt that all is not right.

With the help of some unusual family friends, Matt discovers that his father had been searching for an ancient code, one rumored to have brought down the Mayans, and maybe even the fabled civilization of Atlantis. Now in the hands of a madman using high-tech computers to decipher it, the code is being readied for new and sinister uses. Matt and his friend, Robin, will traverse the globe, battling terrifying sand creatures and mercenaries alike in their efforts to stop the chaos code from being fully reactivated - and dooming the modern world to a catastrophe not seen since the days of Atlantis.

Such an interesting read

I reread this book at least once a year and it’s just a good every time.

Great read 👍

Enjoyed every minute of it! The twist and turns the guessing, the realization of who Robin and her father were

Not bad, but could not finish

The intro storyline sounded great, but I just could not get into the story- mainly because it was too slow and didn't get into action as I would have wanted. The manner in which the narrator read (although pleasant), reminded me of when I was young listening to radio shows, (The Shadow Knows, Alfred Hitchcock, etc.).
