A captivating action and adventure thriller from bestselling duo, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

In 1695, a notorious English pirate buried his bounty in a maze of booby-trapped tunnels on an island off the coast of Maine. In three hundred years, no one has breached this cursed and rocky fortress.

Now, a treasure hunter and his high-tech, million-dollar recovery team embark on the perfect operation to unlock the labyrinth's mysteries.

First the computers fail. The then crewmen begin to die. The island has guarded its secrets for centuries, and it isn't letting them go without a fight.

Fully enjoyed this book.
The story was well writen and presented by the narrator.
Exciting and I hated to come to the end would have listen to many more hours of the story.
It's the kind of story I've come to expect from these two authors.
You'll enjoy it I'm sure of it.

Great Story Line

I'm always a sucker for a good pirate treasure or swashbuckling novel. Riptide isn't a pirate novel, but it is about the search for pirate treasure.

The story is a bit like a cross between a Michael Crichton novel and a Dan Brown novel in that it features a lot of high-tech equipment with a story that deals with secrets and hidden treasure.

Riptide starts off a little slowly but it picks up pace eventually and reaches quite an exciting (though slightly far-fetched) conclusion.

Overall, a good listen, with narrator Scott Brick providing a solid reading, though it's not his best work.

Ripping yarn

Have read other books by Preston and Child. This one is not one of my favorites. It included too many details which could have been left out. The narrator was quite good, but the book itself was too slow moving.

Would not recommend this book as an intriguing. Moved too slow for my tastes.

I really enjoyed it and liked the narrator, even though others did not. At times, I got distracted with too many details, but overall good mystery and enjoyable ending.

Great mystery sometimes too much detail!
