From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next.

The mission seems simple enough: Extract a pharmaceutical magnate from Russian soil. But nothing is as it appears to be. A desperate call thrusts Captain Tucker Wayne and his stalwart military dog, Kane, into a frantic race to rescue the brilliant-but-deluded Abram Bukolov from a cadre of skilled assassins. Hunted and betrayed at every turn, Tucker and Kane must discover the truth behind a horror out of the ancient past that can be weaponized to terrorize the modern world. As time rapidly runs out, the deep and intimate bond between dog and soldier will be tested to the extreme.

An earthquake in Masada, Israel, kills hundreds and reveals a tomb buried in the heart of the mountain. A trio of investigators - Sergeant Jordan Stone, a military forensic expert; Father Rhun Korza, a Vatican priest; and Dr. Erin Granger, a brilliant but disillusioned archaeologist - are sent to explore the macabre discovery, a subterranean temple holding the crucified body of a mummified girl. But a brutal attack at the site sets the three on the run, thrusting them into a race to recover what was once preserved in the tomb's sarcophagus: a book rumored to have been written by Christ's own hand....

A fun listen
I'm a James Rollins fan and from the very begnning he authored some pretty wild stuff but I enjoyed the reads. This is a children's book which made me realize that I must still be in touch with my "inner child". A little light hearted fantasy is good for the soul from time to time. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

2nd great Jake Ransom Book - Where is the Third?
Would you listen to Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx again? Why?
yup - I would. Jake Ransom books are a wonderful tale - based on Jr high and Sr High Kids. They use their brains to over come problems and work together using everyone's strengths to create a great team that actually care for each other and get the Job Done. Refreshing in this day and age. Touch of History, Touch of Science fiction.
What other book might you compare Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx to and why?
Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigator Series. Group of Kids use their heads to solve mysteries and outwit adult foes at their own game. Great outcomes. Great Mystery.
Which scene was your favorite?
Jake's Sister sword fighting with the attacking Cactus.
Any additional comments?
when is the third book coming out? I can't wait.

The second chapter in the Jake Ransom series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes, if they enjoy YA books, this is a good one.
What other book might you compare Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx to and why?
Similar to the Rick Riordan books and of course the previous Jake Ransom book.
Which scene was your favorite?
In the lost city at the temple during the climax. The "final" showdown with the villain.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes, although I enjoyed the first book in the series a bit more. This one does get me anxious to see the third book.
Any additional comments?
Recommended series and well written.
