The Coelho Medallion

De: Kevin Tumlinson

Narrado por: Joe Hempel

The adventure begins in the first Dan Kotler archaeological thriller!

An ancient medallion is unearthed in Pueblo, Colorado, revealing a secret that will rewrite the history of North America - the Vikings somehow made it to the continent's interior, centuries before Columbus made landfall, and there they built a city of gold.

But today the Coelho medallion has been stolen, and a linguist and researcher has been abducted in connection with the crime. Could the abductors be after the fabled city of gold? Or do they have a more sinister plot in mind?

Dan Kotler is an independent researcher who often finds himself in more trouble than he was expecting. But when his colleague is abducted and he finds himself being investigated by the FBI, he must use all of his brilliance and expertise to find her and absolve himself.

Anwar Adham has plans for a terrorist action on US soil, and information from the Pueblo research site can give him everything he needs to put his plans in motion. Unless Adham is stopped, thousands and possibly millions will die.

Whoever wins this contest of wits and wills will hold the fate of thousands in his hands, and will also lay claim to the fabled city of gold.

It's an adventure that can redefine the history of America as we know it. Kotler finds himself facing off against both the FBI and Adham's terrorist network as he struggles to solve the mystery of Vikings in Colorado, to rescue Evelyn, and stop Adham's plans before it's too late.

Great Read

The story was well written, and the characters believable. Even the plot was within the realm of possibilities - maybe. I loved Dan and Roland. But more than that, I loved the way fact and fiction were so seamlessly interwoven. The Vikings in what is now the U.S., but not just around the Great Lakes. The whole take on The City of Gold. Then the theft of the medallion itself was ingenious. I am moving on to the next listen in this series.

My First Tumlinson Read

Well written story with lots of action, layers, and twists and turns. Excellent level of tech research to support story. Look forward to next book. Well done!

outstanding

I can't get enough of this series. I'm thrilled Mr Tumlinson choose to give this genre a try. He's definitely found his best style. I've read and reread all of this series. I'm looking forward to more of the audio books to catch up to all this series published books. Excellent writing style and the story isn't like others in this genre. Although, it's crosses several genre's. Really original stories. I read them the day their released and don't put them down until I finish. Good choice of narrator. Starting to re-listen to the series again now. Great work Mr Tumlinson!

Finally on Audible!!

One of my favorite authors! Great to be able to revisit his books by listening. The reader is perfect using just enough voice difference to distinguish people while getting the nuances of the characters. I highly recommend!!

Great story!

A most interesting mystery with Dan being a wonderful character. It had a good pace to it and I found I could hardly leave it before I was back to listening!

Fantastic Story! Highly Recommend!

The story is fantastic and had me interested and invested the entire time! Can’t wait to hear the next one!

Didn't make it past chapter 6

Possibly this book would be better for someone else but it was very dry and slow for me. The mystery part was boring as well. The writing was extremely descriptive and it just knocked out my ability to listen
