About This Audiobook

Buckley's 'The Relic Master' is a wild ride through 16th-century Europe, where art, deception, and the divine collide. Dismas, a relic hunter, and Albrecht Dürer, an artist, team up to create a forgery that could make them rich and famous. Buckley's prose is sharp and witty, painting vivid scenes that leap off the page. James Langton's narration is a perfect fit, bringing each character to life with a rich, engaging voice. This isn't your typical historical fiction; it's a fast-paced adventure that's equal parts 'Indiana Jones' and 'Monty Python'.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'The Relic Master' was like being on a wild, unpredictable rollercoaster. Buckley's humor is relentless, and Langton's narration only amplifies it. He masterfully switches between characters, capturing their distinct voices and personalities. The pacing is excellent, keeping you on the edge of your seat, eager to find out what absurd scheme Dismas and Albrecht will concoct next. My only critique is that some of the historical details can feel a bit dense at times, but Buckley's storytelling is so engaging that it's easy to forgive. Overall, this audiobook is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a unique, entertaining listen that's not afraid to poke fun at history.
