A Betrayed Archaeologist. A Ghost from the Past. A Dozen Worthy Sacrifices.
Expedition leader Hiram Kane is holed up in his native England recovering from wounds both physical and mental, when his family receives a mysterious anonymous letter that dredges up nightmares from the past. Could it also offer a ray of unexpected hope?
Across the globe beneath a forgotten Aztec pyramid, a disillusioned archaeology professor is about to unleash his wrath.
How? Brutally murdering a dozen innocent victims in an ancient sacrificial ritual.
When the modern and ancient worlds collide and the unhinged professor starts committing unimaginable blood-spilling atrocities on the adolescent virgins, Kane is forced to make an impossible choice.

Baskerville Book Reviews
This is arguably the best book in this series so far. It’s longer than books 1 and 2, which allows for more setup and world-building. Unlike books 3 and 5, the setup doesn’t crawl along at a snail’s pace. It’s exciting and intense. The characters are in real, believable danger. There’s finally some character development. It’s everything the other books weren’t.
The narrator as always does an incredible job with narrating and accents. I’ll bring this up again because it’s no less annoying; I can’t stand how he does different accents for Hiram Kane’s internal Voice and his speaking voice. If he can do the accent, then he should do it for both so it’s less jarring when Hiram Kane speaks in a different accent than you hear for most of the novel.

definitely listen or read
I really enjoyed this story. Well written characters, and well paced. The secondary characters still had enough in them to make the twists and turns believable. It also built up on past experiences of the characters so it gets you wanting to read the books prior if like me you haven't read them before this. And I liked that. I will definitely be following this authors work from now on. We'll worth the time and effort

'Gripping Read/ Listen'
Have just spent the Easter holiday afternoons in lock-down relaxing and listening to the Feathered Serpent. It was the first time I had actually listened to a Hiram Kane adventure, having previously read the other ones. It was very well read indeed by Kenneth Bryant, however, having read the others books, I had formed my own idea of how Hiram would sound, and of course he sounded completely different (better spoken) but I soon got used to it. The story was well thought out, the descriptions of the places in Mexico were excellent. Also it was good how we learnt about some of the characters hang ups and how their lives had been taken on certain paths because of their sometimes misconception of how others thought of them. I was so glad that Hiram was finally reunited with his brother Danny, the mystery of his disappearance having being a theme running through all the other books. A good read/listen throughout, it kept me interested all the way, and to the very last wondering how Hiram Kane was going to survive this one!

Yet another brilliant book by Steve and Kenneth
I have been a fan of Steven since i first read the samurai code a couple of years ago. This is book 5 and I personally think it is the best one to date.
This book involves hiram travelling to mexico to meet a long thought dead relative, and ends up with him being caught up in a dangerous adventure involving a man who has kidnapped some young children and is threatening to kill them.
Hiram then has to spend the reat of the book trying to save the children with his new team.
The action starts. the beginning and doesn't let up until the very last page and, as I know how Steve works, I really wasn't sure who would survive the adventure.
Overall a brilliant book, which i would suggest everyone buy.
Yet again Kenneth has done a brilliant job of narrating the book getting all the very tricky pronunciations correct and the way he tells the story could almost make you think you are there yourself. If i had someone narrate my life story I would choose Kenneth as he would be guaranteed to make it sound a lot more interesting than it actually is.

Good Series
A fine finish to the Hiram Kane series, The narration is quite good, and the chapters are the perfect length, you don't really have to read these books in order, but the main thing is to read or listen to this series, Steven Moore is a fine writer, and folks, check out his collaboration with David Berens, very good' I received this audiobook free in exchange for my unbiased review.

Dark sacrifices for a tarnished reputation
Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. The hauntingly grotesque exotic thriller is beautifully narrated by Kenneth Bryant, whose impeccable vocal style elevates the race against time Hiram Kane and this friends find themselves embroiled in Mexico. His performance of the mentally disturbed former professor Humberto Palomares, whom daringly casts himself as Quetzel aka Quetzalcoatl- a powerful god in Mesoamerica; is absolutely engaging and bone chilling by the man's twisted exploits to regain his tarnished reputation by forcing the group to rescue innocent girls trapped an ancient pyramid and to be sacrifices to fulfill his deepest desires. This story will keep on edge as the dark reasoning behind why Humberto Palomares is so determined to slaughter not only children but their valiant rescuers as well. Steven Moore definitely knows how to deliver powerfully dark and poignant twists, highly recommended.

Good story
If you like Indiana Jones you'll like this story. Although there's more fighting than there's archaeology stuff this is a good story. Most of the characters are believable,other then Hiram Kane. The background story of them is solid and pretty much life like. It's well written and,in my opinion, the narration is really good. This is another good addition to the Hiram Kane series.

A good bedtime listen
The Feathered Serpent. A good bedtime listen
it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat but it does entertain. Though I did lose track in places and had to relisten to the chapter.
Although that told me the plot was more complex than I first thought.
Professional narration.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily left this honest review.

Very interesting
I had never listened or read anything by this author because it's not my preferred genre but am glad I have now. I listened to the whole thing in one sitting. I just couldn't hit stop or even pause it is that good. I also wasn't too lost in the series as it seems these are stand alone worthy as well.
The plot is what drew me in. The Aztec aspect actually. It was fast paced, action packed & just bizarre enough for my liking.
I highly recommend this audiobook.

Excellent
We meet Danny who doesn’t confided much to others, a friend with the bartender and the couple playing their music. He seems more depressed. Only saying the family wouldn’t forgive him, especially after this many years. An anonymous letter to Hiram and he fly’s immediately to Mexico. 30 years, they looked as though twins, the why’s Danny felt inferior. Regret, and how proud he had been of all Hiram had accomplished, he keep tracked, always from a distance. Day long celebration in this little town, didn’t end the same this year. 12 girls are missing, Young 12-13 age from poor families, and most never away from their small town.A television announcement caught Hiram attention, a man addressing him, and the outcome of these girls, to do as he says. How had they known he would be here, his gut saying there would be trouble ahead. The man was an archeological and he wanted the fame that he felt had been denied him. Another captivating adventure. As well as learning about Mexico, the places, and the beauty of it.
The narration was great by Kenneth.
