230 BC - The first sovereign emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, has consolidated his ultimate power with battles against the last of the dissenting tribes of China. With one last province to take, he knows he will be pitted against the one man he fears - his mysterious half brother, Li Zhang, leader of a peaceful province to the north. The new emperor's goal was to murder Li Zhang for the secrets he has kept from the world that would give Qin Shi Huang the power to strike beyond the borders of ancient China. The power over earth, water, fire, and air.

Worst narrator ever for this book.
Reviewed: 01-08-19
I have always loved this series and it just got ruined because the narrator is so monotone and boring that I can't listen to the book! Too bad you changed narrators. Such a great series! Jeffrey Kafer sucks at narrating this book.

I was hooked after the first paragraph. Very well written. The twist and turns are unexpected as well as the ending.
Was looking for any other books by same author. I hope she graces us with more excellent entertainment.

Alone and on the run, betrayed at every turn, Jenna's path takes her from sun-drenched Key West to the alligator-infested Everglades, the streets of Miami, and the Caribbean islands. Along the way brutal criminals, deadly assassins, and the forces of nature conspire to end her life unless she can rise to embrace an impossible destiny and unleash her own lethal potential.

A terrifying secret. A shocking discovery has been made deep within Rome's ancient catacombs. One that the Vatican is determined must never be made public - for the sake of all mankind. A deadly conspiracy. But there are others who want to keep the truth hidden for far more sinister reasons, others who believe that not only are the church and the faith of a billion at threat, but life as we know it is about to be destroyed - forever. And only one woman - a young Italian nun - can save us.... The nightmare is about to begin.

Bad pronunciation
Reviewed: 09-07-13
Would you consider the audio edition of The Devil Will Come to be better than the print version?
The narrator is obviously not American as many words are mispronounced. The story is OK., but not up to the quality of his other books.
Would you be willing to try another one of Maria Elena Infantino’s performances?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
