Resumen del Editor

"The words of a Matt James story flow like the best rivers. Smooth and subtle at times, interrupted by danger and thrills at every churn of whitewater. This guy is the real deal!" (Ernest Dempsey, USA Today best-selling author of Where Horizons End)

Nestled deep within an uncharted valley of the Himalayas is a legendary utopia of untold beauty and peace.

Jack Reilly's next mission will be his most daunting one yet. The retired Delta operator is whisked away to the Nepali capital of Kathmandu to investigate the outrageous claims of an impossibly old, seemingly deranged Sherpa. The hospitalized man has delivered a confusing and provocative warning to his caretakers, cautioning them to be wary of the "curse of Shangri-La."

Rumors of a mystical mountain paradise have circulated throughout history for centuries. It is said that a supernatural enchantment is responsible for the excellent health and prolonged lives of the domain's residents. But is it really magic? And what of the curse?

It becomes even more imperative for Jack to uncover the long-veiled location after a Chinese biotech company with government contracts joins the hunt. As a result, one of the world's greatest mysteries is in danger of being pillaged, and the people who call it home, inhumanly experimented on and butchered.

Fans of Indiana Jones, Uncharted, and Tomb Raider love Jack Reilly!

The Undying Kingdom is the fourth book in international best-selling author Matt James' action-packed archaeological thriller series, The Jack Reilly Adventures.

A Fun Treasure Hunt

This story was a solid adventure; one cut above the average for the genre typically found in the airport newsstands to pass the time while traveling. The audible narration was also better than average and made the whole story a lot of fun. The fourth of the series, I started here and I want to go back get the rest … although that is by no means required since it appears that each adventure stand on its own …

Jack, the titular character, teams up with two others in a race to the legendary Shangri-La ahead of a powerful Chinese cabal … and comes face to face with a few other myths along the way. Despite the predictable {feel good) action … it was well done and fun as they followed the clues and dodged the bad guys in a roller coaster ride to paradise.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Never a disappointment

Even more enjoyable characters than usual. i found myself falling in love with most of the new characters as well.That's good old jack. i can't wait for the next installment and to see where it takes some of these new characters as well. if you're a fan of wash, buckling heroes like indiana jones and dirk bit, these books are amazing, they're exactly what i've been looking for. i tip my hat to the rider.

Great take on a mystery

Overall a great story. I really enjoyed the pace and the action sequences and I’ve enjoyed how a little more ‘magic’ and supernatural elements have been introduced in this book as well as the previous.
My one critique is that if feel like the author is pulling a lot from the UNCHARTED game series. Jack has gone from finding el Darado to shamballa which is the same order of the first two uncharted games. He even found a nazi sub in the Amazon and yetis in the Himalayas…just like in uncharted.
That observation aside I have enjoyed this book and all the other Jack Reilly books and continue to read the rest of them. I can’t wait for what comes next
