Summary
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....

Good story, poor narration
I thought Dick van Dyke did the worst English accent in Mary Poppins. Not any more. A good story was ruined by dreadful accents. Come back Scott Brick, all is forgiven!

Terrible change of narrator spoils a great series
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?

Could not finish this book....
This was a book I wanted to listen to, I love the Juan Cabrillo series however the narrator spoiled this for me, I simply could not get into the story ....Not without Mr Brick, when you get so used to hearing one narrator....(and lets be honest) Scot Brick does a great job, it is difficult to even begin to try and understand a story when all of the characters voices have changed.
Why ruin a great series by making these sort of changes...big mistake Random Audio, if ever I see another book with a change of narrator I WONT BUY IT.
😡😡

Great story, okay narration
The voice range of the narrator is limited, and the attempts to distort voices for phone / radio calls was unnecessary.

Terrible English and Scottish accents
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

Narration ruined good story
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.

Awful narration
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
