Story
Half a century ago, an aberration was spotted by one of our earliest satellites, and summarily dismissed as a hardware malfunction. But it was no aberration. And no malfunction. It was an accidental glimpse of something extraordinary, and very old. Mocked for decades, the man who designed the satellite is now dead. With the system's original data firmly in the hands of former NTSB investigator Joe Rickards and anthropologist Angela Reed.

Story
Twenty miles east of Devils Tower, in the sleepy town of Cascade, Wyoming, a cryptic letter is found. It mentions a "wealth of a nation", and reads as nothing more than fanciful fiction, except that its author was one of the most influential men in American history, famed explorer and former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. The letter also references the Seven Sisters of Native American folklore. The correlation between the two subjects is unknown, even to Chatan, the message’s discoverer, a young man with Lakota ancestry.

Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with a proposal for an excavation - and a hefty donation. Hoping to bring welcome publicity to the privatized space travel industry, he wants to finance a careful, scientific archaeological excavation of the 1947 Roswell Incident site. The Institute agrees and Nora Kelly, much to her annoyance, is tasked with the job. Instead of the evidence of a crashed UFO, Nora's excavation immediately uncovers two unknown murder victims buried at the site.

Publisher's Summary
A treasure lost to time, a string of stolen artifacts, and one archaeologist determined to expose the truth.
The year is 1521, and Tenochtitlán burns. Wracked by plague and war, the majestic Aztec empire begins to crumble. As their beloved capital city falls to the ruthless Spaniards and hordes of vengeful tribes, the Aztecs make a last-ditch attempt to secretly save their heritage before it’s lost to the sands of time forever.
Meanwhile, in the modern day, a string of high-profile robberies lays waste to archaeological sites and museums across Mesoamerica, overshadowed by a brewing nationalistic fervor which threatens to topple already fragile countries. Rumors say the artifacts hold the secret to a legendary Aztec myth - The Seven Cities of Cibola - which has concealed countless treasures for centuries.
Faced with unravelling the mysteries of both the present and the past, aspiring archaeologist Nick LaBounty embarks on a dangerous mission to solve a long-held family mystery and discover the truth behind the stolen artifacts.
He soon finds his fate irreversibly entangled with a civilization from over 500 years ago. But time is running out, and the future of both a fabulous treasure - and all Central America - teeters precariously in the balance.

Don’t Buy
I thought I was buying an audiobook related to Aztec history and archeology; instead, this love story is about a guy falling in love for the first time and a history lesson on rock and roll songs. I couldn’t even finish it!
Another issue I have is the narrator. I buy approximately 150 audiobooks per year and I’ve yet to hear a voice so bad. I’m still not sure the narration isn’t performed by a robot instead of a human. Honestly, he sounds like an actual electronic recording. Very disappointed and a waste of credit.

A Completely Worthy Listen
Excellent historical fiction covering a rarely examined age. Characters are well-rounded, the story moves along at a good pace within the context of historical and present day Meso-America. Aptly blends what is known of the culture and language into a fascinating generational quest, a la National Treasure. Bonus: the author provides a background soundtrack in the form of just enough classic blues and rock lyrics to trigger the tunes for the listener. The narration was well done - I particularly appreciated that high-tension moments were dramatically conveyed without blowing out my eardrums.

Historical Fiction & Modern Mystery
Told from the Aztec point of view from 1500+, and the modern day search for the ancient truth of it, with subplots aplenty, this book is the best of its genres. The historical fiction is very fact-based and compelling. The modern day drama has drug cartels, family history, a bit of romance, and no small amount of action/adventure. You'll enjoy all 14+ hours and still want more...I got my copy from Audiobooks Unleashed.

I absolutely loved this! Such amazing amazing adventure. So much history and research. Everything about this was spectacular. I can’t wait for the next adventure!
Narration by Samuel Hoke was perfect. There couldn’t have been anyone who would have done a better job.

Reminiscent of the historical fiction of Dan Brown
Aztec Odyssey: Historical Action-Adventure (Nick LaBounty Series Book 1), my first read from author Jay C. LaBarge Outstanding fiction, well-written with characters & a plot you can buy into with unexpected twists & turns. I look forward to the next book he writes. I HAVE FOUND A NEW OUTSTANDING AUTHOR and it looks like a new series as well! Reminiscent of the historical fiction of Dan Brown or Blair Howard or Kate Mosse. Samuel E. Hoke's narration adds to the enjoyment of the book. “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
