What do get when you mix Indiana Jones with the CIA and a PBS documentary?
The Gold of Exodus, the riveting true story of lost treasure, international
conspiracy, and biblical legend. Boyd Gaines reads Howard Blum's account of
two fortune seekers' quest for the mythical gold of Moses in a convincing,
authoritative voice, instantly drawing the listener into the actual events
surrounding the mystery of the millennium. He switches in and out of
character with the ease of a vaudeville ventriloquist, imitating everyone
from rough-and-tumble Texans to angry Arabs with menacing accents. The story
centers around the quest of millionaire adventurer Larry Williams and ex-cop
Bob Cornuke to find Old Testament treasure, the Israeli gold left behind on
Mt. Sinai when Moses led his people out of Egypt. However, Williams and
Burke get much more than they ever imagined: a convoluted collusion, more
spies than you can shake a stick at, and shotgun-wielding nomads on a
mission from Allah. Jabal al Lawz, the suspected Mt. Sinai, is a remote
mountain in Saudi Arabia that holds much more than buried booty; it's also a
military lair stuffed with enough nuclear contraband to blow Israel to
kingdom come and back again--a secret that may cost Williams and Cornuke
their lives
Philosophy and Religion Editor's Recommended Book, 01/01/98
When a millionaire adventurer goes in search of the true Mount Sinai, he
gets more than he bargained for. Spies, missiles, and secret military
installations are just some of the obstacles that Larry Williams and his
sidekick Bob Cornuke must confront in their unprecedented journey to find
the lost treasures of Moses. In The Gold of Exodus, award-winning journalist
Howard Blum records a page-turning story of an adventure that makes history.
While risking their necks by sneaking into the xenophobic Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, amateur archaeologists Williams and Cornuke become pawns in a game
of international espionage that eventually leads them to the top of the most
sacred mountain in the world, and into the hands of shotgun-wielding
Bedouins. The Gold of Exodus is a true story that is too unbelievable to be
fiction, too suspenseful to be put down, and too significant to soon be
forgotten.
