Summary
The bestselling coauthor of such thrillers as Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities, Douglas Preston now spins an unforgettable tale of greed, adventure, and betrayal in The Codex.
"Greetings from the dead," declares Maxwell Broadbent on the videotape he left behind after his mysterious disappearance. A notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber, Broadbent accumulated over a half a billion dollars' worth of priceless art, gems, and artifacts before vanishing—along with his entire collection—from his mansion in New Mexico.
At first, robbery is suspected, but the truth proves far stranger: As a final challenge to his three sons, Broadbent has buried himself and his treasure somewhere in the world, hidden away like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. If the sons wish to claim their fabulous inheritance, they must find their father's carefully concealed tomb.
The race is on, but the three brothers are not the only ones competing for the treasure. This secret is so astounding it cannot be kept quiet for long. With half a billion dollars at stake, as well as an ancient Mayan codex that may hold a cure for cancer and other deadly diseases, others soon join the hunt—and some of them will stop at nothing to claim the grave goods.

Missing chapters
I have read the printed copy of this book which I thoroughly enjoyed but there are many missing parts in this audio book mainly the violent parts of the book and although violence isn't essential in this book it did give it a more harder edge.

Very predictable story
While no complains with the narrator the story was boring and very predictable. From the start it felt that the story was moving at a snails pace.

Decent enough!
(a decent book deserves 3 stars, which is what this received)
A nice adventure story. The pace is good and the narrator does very well at bringing the different characters to life. Nothing ground-breaking, but enjoyable enough and well worth a second listen at some point in the future!
