Download Riptide Audiobook

" Riptide by Preston & Child was my first introduction into this duo of very fine authors. Treasure, a water pit, curses reminiscent of the Curse of Oak Island, pirates, racing against time all lead the readers into a wicked fast paced romp. Riptide gave me a joyful discovery of two more favorite authors. I am in the process of re-reading all thei books. "

" I enjoyed this book a lot. A lot of twists and turns! Well written. "

" Good, but not compared to their other books. "

" My very first novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and the one that got me hooked and made me an instant fan. An absolute thriller that has stayed with me all the years since I first read it. The little island: mysterious and shrouded in gauzy mists, superstition, rumors and legend, with jagged rocks and rough tides... could there be a more exciting setting for a thriller? It was riveting. "

" "The literary equivalent to an event movie...a lot of fun" is what the blurb on the cover says, and that about sums it up. A pirate treasure---now valued at $2 billion--- buried on a treacherous island off the coast of Maine has for three hundred years claimed the lives of its seekers. Now, armed with the latest high-tech equipment, a modern recovery team is determined to crack the code and claim the gold. However, strange things begin to happen on the island. Is it "the curse" or is it sabotage? I'm surprised this hasn't been made into a movie. "

" This story gets lost numerous times. "

" Pirate treasure buried on a small island and protected by a devious trap that defies all efforts over the centuries to overcome it. "

" So cheesy, but I love Preston and Child - their books are the perfect break from more serious fare. A quick, easy read that keeps the fun coming. "

" Slow start, but worth the wait "

" One of the best mystery thrillers I've ready :) loved it! "

" No Pendergast, but great story. "

" Worth the read if you like this genre. Obviously I like Child and Preston! "

" Not as good as Thunderhead or the first four Pendergast novels but a good book! Treasure hunters! Pirates! A fun read! "

" Como casi todo lo de estos autores, muy interesante. "

" Great book about trying to find a pirate treasure on a small island in New England. "

" I picked this copy up thinking it was a Pendergast novel; it wasn't. There is a brief scuba diving scene that was too short-lived. "

" This would probably make a great movie, but as a novel I couldn't really buy into some of the characters, coincidences, etc. "

" Douglas Preston is generally a good choice for an action/thriller type book, but I prefer his Pendergast series. "

" Not bad, but definitely not my favorite Preston/Child book. The protagonist is a little milquetoast, and there are a few character pieces near the end that really strain credibility. But it's still a fun page-turner, and I'm not sorry I read it. "

" I love the mystery surrounding the real Oak Island. Having purchased this on sale from Audible and knowing nothing about the book I couldn't believe my luck. I've read from this pair only once before and liked their books. It's a good read and very interesting! "

" one best book that dying to be made into a movie "

" Started out slow but then picked up pace. Not my favorite from these guys, but it was entertaining. "

" Of the non-Pendergast books this one was one of the betters. The whole pirate/pirate treasure story was a nice change of pace. Clunky in some parts but overall not bad. "

" I was surprisingly disappointed by this book. The entire first half felt extremely sluggish, and by the time it started to get interesting, I almost didn't care anymore. There were some good parts, but overall it definitely wasn't what I expected out of a Preston/Child novel. "

" I loved this book. I am obsessed now with the real story of the island. So cool. "

" Excellent read. Great use of suspense, history, technology, and human nature. "

" This book has it all! Pirates, romance, adventure, buried treasure, ocean mysteries, and history. Great characters and a fantastic plot that keeps you going from beginning to end. Read it! "

" Pirate treasure buried on a small island and protected by a devious trap that defies all efforts over the centuries to overcome it. "

" Excellent read. Great use of suspense, history, technology, and human nature. "

" Pirates, buried treasure, villains, & heroes! What more do you need in a book! "

" Definetly exciting, if you enjoy action movies, you would probably enjoy this book. The author provides just enough back story/character development to get the story moving and keep it moving. "

" This was just "OK" for me. Wasn't as good as the Pendergast series. "

" Great story about pirate treasure off the coast of Maine.

Lots of ambiance about small town coastal life in Maine.

"

" Of the non-Pendergast books this one was one of the betters. The whole pirate/pirate treasure story was a nice change of pace. Clunky in some parts but overall not bad. "

" Smart, whip-fast pulp of the kind ONLY Crichton could write - this is the only book I've read that measures up to 'Sphere' or 'Congo' in sheer ridiculous fun. "

" An awsome read with lots of twists and turns and alot of fun figuring it out. An EXCELLENT book for sure "

" Really enjoyed it. Didn't end like I thought it would. Fun adventure. "

" Uma caça ao tesouro do século XXI. Uma expedição repleta de contratempos e desastres.
Tal como o outro livro que li dos autores, este também me cativou e convenceu. "

" Surprisingly Good! It kept my interest the whole way through. I came to the same medical conclusions until the very end and then wanted to kick myself for not seeing it before, just like all the characters did. "
