Description
A widower is set off on an amazing adventure by a man claiming to be a god in this epic fantasy tale that reads like Indiana Jones meets Clash of the Titans. Follow Dan Ryan through Egypt, Greece, and the Mexican jungle as he unlocks the keys to finding the lost continent of Atlantis and the gods imprisoned there.
Eight years after its initial publication, Ancient Rising still captures the hearts and minds of adventurous readers (and now listeners) beginning their trek into the world of the ancients. With book one of the Rise of the Ancients saga, JC De La Torre puts together a fast-paced adventure of a lifetime. Here, award-winning radio-theater artist Joe Bevilacqua breathes new life into the characters that make Ancient Rising one of the most exciting tales out there.
Bevilacqua introduces you to the Bev-O-Vision 3D audiobook experience, designed to completely immerse you in the story. He weeps when Dan Ryan loses someone close to him. He cries out when Ryan exclaims in pain. He becomes Ryan, Doc Constant, Mina, Hermes, and all of the other colorful characters found within these pages. JC De La Torre takes you on a breathless search for the lost continent of Atlantis, and Bevilacqua delivers each and every action-packed moment. From the debut of the Greek god Hermes to the pits of Hades and the rise of Atlantis, Ancient Rising puts you on course for action-packed fun.
