About this listen

Graham Hancock, an expert in ancient civilisations and author of the nine million selling Fingerprints of the Gods, and expert, too, on the use of hallucinogens to achieve higher states of consciousness, brings these two interests together in the final volume of the War God trilogy.

Critic reviews

"Part historical fact, part fantasy, the effect is as intense as the events themselves. It's a fascinating read that will have you booking a flight to Mexico long before you finish the book." ( Evening Standard)

I have listened to the first 2 books in this series and gave a well deserved 5 star rating. I have dropped this to 4 stars on this occasion. It is not the case that Hancock has ran out of steam in his superb story telling. In fact, Hancock, who is better known as a factual writer, demonstrates yet again his incredible ability as a story teller. Had it not been for his interest in researching new theories that challenge historical conventional wisdoms (sometimes with a little welcomed controversy), I suggest that Hancock could have possibly become one of the all time greats in story telling. But I suspect this was a side project to his main quests in life.

Barnaby Edwards, as normal, is a very accomplished narrator, to the point that I picked out a couple of other books also narrated by himself. However, Edwards definitely immersed himself in connecting with the characters and storyline, enabling him to vary the intensity of his narration at the appropriate sections in the book.

What I was a little disappointed in was that there were clear opportunities towards the end of the book to use the very well developed characters to bring together many different events to incredible conclusions. Alas, whilst the ending had some exciting scenes, I was left with many questions as to why some characters had been so carefully crafted only to have no end that was fitting. Maybe this was deliberate and was meant to encourage your own interpretation or even look into some actual historical research. But to myself, the end of this book should have brought twists and intrigue that makes a reader sad that all 3 books were finally finished. This was not the case and maybe the slightest hint of an anti-climax brought about by several loose ends.

There is no indication of a 4th book in the series. Hancock I believe is now 70 and for most of his life has travelled the globe analysing ancient structures and the significance of why these challenge the standard paradigm. His knowledge on many disciplines including archaeology, astronomy, astrology, mathematics that can be applied to monuments such as the pyramids makes him one of the most accomplished minds capable of bringing together scientific disciplines and bridging the insular beliefs of distinct scientific communities. He endure terms such as pseudoscientist which is ironic considering the breadth of knowledge. The world needs people like Hancock to champion the progression of knowledge through open minded research, but also as an intelligent writer who can write such incredible epics that will keep you riveted for hours.

The last war god book, still good
