Product Description

When a mysterious man orchestrates an attack on archaeologist Annja Creed and then offers her an assignment, Annja is baffled. But the mission is too intriguing for her to refuse. She must find an object that possesses a sacred and powerful secret offering atonement to anyone who uncovers it or wreaking havoc on the world.

Stolen from an ancient order of knights, the relic is now in the clutches of a band of pirates sailing the South China Sea. When a government leader threatens to destroy the pirate ship along with the artifact rather than let it get into the wrong hands, Annja must decide at what cost the sacred prize should be protected. Destroying it would defile history. But saving it could bring about apocalypse.

From AudioFile

PROVENANCE is the latest in the series of a young archaeologist with a magic sword. As with all Graphic Audio's "movie-in-your-mind" presentations, the production is a full-cast performance with more special effects than can be found in a dozen other audio programs. The different actors help the listener keep the characters straight in this story of the hunt for a mysterious coffin containing a priceless relic. The special effects can be a bit overpowering at times, as when the performer must compete with an airplane engine and loud music. While most of the production maintains a careful balance between the special effects and the voices of Nanette Savard and more than a dozen others, there are a few places where less would have been more.
