About this audiobook
210 BCE, CHINA. The most powerful emperor China has ever known is on the brink of death. In desperation, he sends his trusted alchemist on a quest for the mythical elixir of life.
His fleet never returned...
NOW, renowned archaeologist Professor Georgia Lee is determined to unlock the secret to the greatest discovery in human history. But she’s not the only one seeking the precious elixir of life. Pursued by those who will kill to possess it, Georgia must find the one man who can help her win this deadly treasure hunt.
With every twist and turn bringing her closer to her enemies, she is thrust into a globetrotting, pulse-pounding adventure from the forgotten tombs of ancient China to the treacherous jungles of Taiwan.
Meticulously researched, this is a tale blended with rich historical facts to recreate all the drama, intrigue, and mystery of East Asia.
A smart, fast-paced archaeological adventure, The Imperial Alchemist is a riveting thriller in the spirit of James Rollins, weaving history, action and thought-provoking philosophy on every page. If you loved Indiana Jones or The Da Vinci Code, this is for you!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Having read Imperial Alchemist and The Golden Khan previously (and loved them) I was curious to hear what the story would be sound like.
The first surprise was the male narrator, Luke, which seemed an odd choice for a female protagonist but what an inspired choice it was. Luke was so engaging and able to switch between characters and moods at the drop of a hat without leaving you stranded. The pacing and emotion was all there and brought to life this wonderful book. Well done!1 person found this helpful
