About this listen

High-concept adventure thriller set in Egypt and Cornwall. What connects a lost hoard of ancient religious texts with a revival in satanic rituals? Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith.

AN ANCIENT SECRET

When a renowned historian is found dead in a cave in the Sahara, his former student Ryan Harper vows to find out what happened. Rumour suggests he’d uncovered a priceless religious text, obsessively hidden for centuries by a network of holy men.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Meanwhile, on Cornwall’s remote western moorlands disturbing rituals are taking place – rituals that appear to have Egyptian connections. Working the case, DI Karen Trevithick is caught up in a dangerous mystery that will threaten the person she loves most.

WILL SHAKE THE WORLD

With the help of filmmaker Helen Fassbinder, Ryan finds himself in a race against time to decipher the ancient text. Pursued across Egypt by those who would use its secrets to devastating effect, Ryan draws ever closer to an unspeakable truth. A truth that will expose the most shocking deceit the world has ever known…

Can I give it 3.5 Stars?

Would you try another book written by Tom Knox or narrated by Nick Taylor?

Possibly, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

To be honest, the main characters are fine but nothing standout.

Which character – as performed by Nick Taylor – was your favourite?

Nick Taylor read it well but no one particular favourite.

Did The Deceit inspire you to do anything?

Not particularly I'm afraid.

Any additional comments?

Its OK but it isn't anything special.

A great adventure

A good book with plenty of twists and turns in the plot. Dies a bit when talking about Crowley but all in all, worth every penny.
