Unverified reports tell of a hidden treasure trove deep beneath the Owl Mountains in Poland. Many have tried, but all have failed to locate the legendary Nazi gold train.
Jack Reilly mourns the loss of his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, and an esteemed historian. In memory of her, the retired Delta operator tours the place of her imprisonment, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, site of the infamous Nazi concentration camp.
Suddenly, the crowded complex is taken over by a well-armed force. They’re led by a woman on a personal quest. The mercenary commander yearns to uncover the lucrative haul with the help of a journal that once belonged to Heinrich Himmler, leader of Adolf Hitler’s ruthless paramilitary organization, the Schutzstaffel. She shanghaies Jack into service after she learns of his past.
With innocent lives on the line, Jack agrees to help. If he fails, people die. But if he succeeds, and he unwillingly helps resurrect the Nazi party, even more people will die. Never in his life has Jack been stuck between a bigger rock and a harder place.
The Forgotten Fortune is the first book in international best-selling author Matt James’ action-packed archaeological thriller series The Jack Reilly Adventures.

Our hero is a recently retired special forces officer who was very good at his job but got disillusioned by all the pointless killing he saw. Now he works in a national park as a ranger. Then his beloved grandmother passes away. In an effort to honor her memory, he visits Auschwitz since she survived it during World War 2. As luck would have it, he visits on the same day that some second generation Nazis take everyone prisoner while looking for a secret treasure hidden beneath the death camp. Queue up the hero action from that point. The rest of the book is Jack vs the Nazis in an elaborate underground maze.
Would this make an entertaining movie? yup. Would it inspire a lot of deep thought? probably not... but it is fun and the hero is likable.
I gave it 4 stars because I enjoyed it but it was not exactly original in any way. The narration was okay but they annoyingly mispronounced some words like pronouncing "ruse" as in a trick, as "rouse" as in to awaken, for example.
There are at least a couple more books in this series and I plan on checking them out. If you like this kind of action story, with a touch of archeological mystery thrown in....then I recommend it to you.
A fun quick read.

I listened to the audiobook version of this book and let me tell you, Matthew Crow is one of the best. His ability to make me believe in the characters is rare and important. It helps make the story more real for me. I always know I will enjoy the book if Matthew Crow is the narrator.
Highly recommend.
What a fun book!
