About this listen

The much anticipated final instalment in the bestselling conspiracy thriller trilogy by Simon Toyne, author of SANCTUS: ‘Plenty of action, plenty of intrigue and wonderfully imaginative. The sort of novel to devour in one sitting' Kate Mosse. For all fans of Dan Brown.

AFTER THE RISE, COMES THE FALL.

The forbidden Citadel at the heart of the ancient Turkish city of Ruin opens its gates for the first time in history. Why now, after centuries of secrecy?

A deadly disease has erupted within, and threatens to spread beyond its walls. Infected charity worker Gabriel Mann may hold the cure – but can one dying man stop an epidemic?

Without him, former journalist Liv Adamsen is vulnerable, surrounded by strangers in the desert oasis that is her new home. Liv, however, has far bigger concerns than just her own life…

In the USA, newly qualified FBI Agent Joe Shepherd investigates the disappearance of NASA’s most senior professor. Is it a vanishing act, an abduction, or something darker? Shepherd’s investigation approaches a powerful conspiracy with global reach, and profound consequences.

For them all, this much is clear: something big is coming. Something that will change everything. But will it be a new beginning or the End of Days?

to be able to write a book so complex and intricate is truly amazing. it's such a thought invoking story that I couldn't stop listening. The narrators voice was great and really helped you to follow the story line by the character voices he was able to maintain throughout the books. a must read.

I have really enjoyed listening to all three books, I found the story imaginative, different, well written. The narrator is superb and I shall be looking for other books read by Mr Keeble. I am sorry that it has come to an end and will definitely listen to it again. Thank you To Mr Toyne and Mr Kebble..

Excellent third book of trilogy.

I read the key on paperback and got stuck in this series of masterpieces straight away. Listening to Mr Keeble Narrate these books has been pure pleasure. There should be films of this but none could compete with this storytelling. I also thank Mr Toyne for reminding me I can feel again.

Sheer Brilliance

A terrific read. Read the whole trilogy for the best experience. Deserves to be made into a film.

Superb series

I finished this trilogy in a magnificent four day binge, interrupted only by the need to sleep. A superb introduction to an author I did not know. After resting with a few hours of catch up TV, I shall be starting the next title available on Audible.

Sanctus Trilogy. Just wow

I have been eagerly awaiting the last book in the author's Citadel trilogy, and I have not been disappointed in any way.



The main characters around whom the story winds are all there, no one has been omitted or moved into the background. This book brings all the remaining threads of the story so far, together with the mysteries left hanging at the climaxes if the first two parts.



My only criticisms, if they can be referred to as such, are the absence of the Goth pathologist and the voice of Athenasius. The latter is my main gripe as the narrator has read all three of the books and all the voices of all the other main characters are exactly same, leading to a seamless continuation. This isn't really a criticism, however, just my own "taste and fancy" coming to the fore. Similarly, the absence of the Goth pathologist is merely a mild irritant as he was only ever a minor character, but he did steal any scenes in which he appeared.



The most important message I feel I must emphasise is that the book is the final part of a much longer work. Minimal attempt, if any, is made by the author to explain the background surrounding the apparently bizarre history of events or characters of any of the main protagonists whose story this effectively is.
