About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Sacred Stone by Clive Cussler with Craig Dirgo, read by J. Charles.

Tens of thousands of years ago: a fist of stone punches through the Earth's atmosphere and falls on the snowy wastes of Greenland - its deadly secret waiting to be found by man...

The discovery of a radioactive meteorite in Greenland sends Juan Cabrillo and the crew of his hi-tech ship Oregon - in Iceland to seize a nuclear weapon from terrorists - on a second rescue mission: to retrieve the dangerous stellar object before someone unlocks the terrible properties it holds.


Unfortunately, Cabrillo is too late to prevent a fanatical group from spiriting the orb away. Now Cabrillo and his team aboard the Oregon have two problems: preventing the detonation of a nuclear bomb in London on New Year's Eve, and getting their hands on the meteorite before a madman uses it to start World War III...

Where does Sacred Stone rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Story- A solid Clive Cussler adventure, and just right for a bit of entertaining listening. Pretty good story, as long as you can suspend belief every now and then, but that's part of the charm with a Clive Cussler book.
Narrator - not the very worst I've heard, (although his female and non-American accents are grating) but not a patch on Scott Brick. Seems such a pity to change the narrator to add books1 & 2 when the rest of the series is by Scott Brick and we have got used to how the characters should sound.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Has to be Juan. Such a complex person, always puts everyone else first and such a sad back-story.

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of J Charles?

Has to be Scott Brick. I don't know if any feedback gets back to Penguin Randomhouse, but PLEASE re-record these first 2 books in the series.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did, because I wanted to hear the story, but the change of narrator, odd accents and his strange pauses or weird emphasis on words spoilt my enjoyment.

Any additional comments?

Why change a good thing when it's not broken and has been having great reviews?

Terrible change of narrator spoils a great series

In my opinion the story line was definitely Cussler but the execution missed by a country mile. Did Clive Cussler actually compose this book?

it just wasn't Clive Cussler

Narrators should be able to do more than two accents for a country. I'm a proud Englishman and we have a multitude of accents from Geordie in the north, past Mancunian, Brummie, Fens, London, to Somerset.

This narrator can do two.
Downton Abbey Posh and Dick Van Dyke Cockney.
Irrespective of what the character was, one of these was trooped out. As a large part of this story is based in London, it got very disturbing.

Good Story, Shame about the terrible Accents.

The story was interesting & the usual fast paced action but I struggled to finish it because the narration was awful. Producers - Please stay with Mr Brick he at least can read fluidly & clearly.

Narration ruined good story

As per previous reviews- the narrators accents are shocking and in some parts takes away from the story as your left questioning yourself as to carrying on with the audio book - ITS THAT BAD!
Story is the usual twists and turns of adventure as you expect from this author

Awful narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book was good as always but nowhere near as strong as the jungle in the Oregon files. Narration good tempo and pitch but dick van dyke did a better English accent. The Scottish accent was equally dire

Terrible English and Scottish accents

I have listened to all Oregon books and many other Cussler ones. I really tried to listen to the Oregon 1 and 2 but couldn't manage it. The stories were not quite up to scratch but the narrator was appalling.. Please don't waste your time

oh no
