City of Screams audiobook – The Order of the Sanguines,

In the midst of a long car journey, with the sun setting in the distance, I found myself captivated by the City of Screams audiobook by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell. As the miles passed by, I was transported to Afghanistan, a land filled with mystery and danger.

The story revolves around Jordon Stone, an archaeologist who is called to Afghanistan after a team of his colleagues vanish without a trace. Only one survivor remains, a young boy whose terrifying account of creatures from ancient times leaves everyone questioning their sanity. Christian Baskous narrates this tale with such intensity that it feels like a standalone masterpiece.

What struck me about this audiobook was its departure from James Rollins’ usual work. The bloodshed and suspense are on another level, pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a thriller. The description of the gruesome scenes and chewed bones sent shivers down my spine as I listened alone at night.

As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that something ancient and vengeful has awakened in Afghanistan. The tension builds steadily towards an explosive climax, leaving you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This is a never-ending terror that will haunt your thoughts long after you’ve finished listening.
