A Sean Wyatt Archaeological Thriller

De: Ernest Dempsey

SWORD OF KINGS. SLAYER OF ARMIES. BLADE OF DESTINY.

Legend holds that whoever wields this mighty, ancient weapon is invincible, able to vanquish all enemies and rule entire lands.

But more than a thousand years after the mythical kingdom of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, tales of Excalibur and its exploits have long been considered only that: legend. That is, until an astonishing archaeological find in France convinces former secret agent Sean Wyatt and his sidekick, Tommy Schultz, that even this unlikeliest of myths is rooted in a truth that now threatens the modern world.

Racing against time and a North Korean madman bent on finding, and brandishing, this ancient blade of unstoppable power, Wyatt and Schultz must also outwit an underground brotherhood sworn to keep the secrets of this sacred sword for eternity.

In yet another heart-pounding tale with more twists than the ancient legend itself, beloved author Ernest Dempsey’s The Excalibur Key is a thrill ride like no other—and will keep you guessing until the very end.

Welcome to the IAA.

The International Archaeological Agency operates out of Atlanta, Georgia, and is focused primarily on securing and transporting artifacts. Now and then, IAA agents are required to go beyond that mission statement and venture into dangerous, uncharted waters.

The fact you're looking at this book says you're ready to join the adventure with the agents of the IAA, and enter a whole new world of discovery.

Ernest Dempsey blends elements from political, pulp, historical, travel, action and adventure, and conspiracy thrillers into a ripping hot, up tempo action vigilante type story that will keep you pinned to the pages until you have to turn just one more. Each book represents hundreds of hours of research into history, secret societies, ancient cultures, and legends.

Warning! Virtual voice narrator.

I have not yet finished listening to this book and may not.
I will not deliberately choose an AI narrator until there is great improvement. Reading rhythm is wrong, pauses change the meaning of sentences as I hear the story in my mind. Also, odd pitches and emphasis alter questions and meanings. Lack of pause before new chapter number followed by long pause is distracting. ( has narration stopped? is something wrong? ) Dempsey has decent stories but virtual voice ruins it for me.
