Pierre Baptiste has everything money can buy, but he still wants more, even the impossible. After years of searching, he has finally found the secret that mankind has sought for eons. The only problem is that it’s sunken below the turquoise waters of the South Pacific Ocean. Following a tragic event, The Herb Society, along with Lukas and Taylor are unwittingly pulled into Baptiste’s twisted plan to not only find a lost continent but unlock the secrets to a precious material that is only found near an archipelago he believes to be the remainder of this sunken world. Baptiste knows this material is more precious than all the gold in the world and he has big plans for it. When The Herb Society discovers Pierre Baptiste’s nefarious agenda, they unlock a global conspiracy led by the world’s rich and powerful that would completely alter civilization to their advantage for generations to come.
Now The Herb Society, Lukas, Taylor, Tory and her boyfriend, Pepe are thrust into the plot and must fight the forces of nature and evil to save mankind from an unimaginable future. But will they be able to stop Pierre and his clever friends from initiating the countdown to an apocalypse?

Do you listen to audiobooks? Do you have a favorite? If you don’t listen to audiobooks, is there a particular reason why not?
I used to listen to audiobooks all the time when I traveled. One I listened to recently was Clarity and Connection by Yung Pueblo and another one was Typee – A Peep at Polynesian Life by Herman Melville. I also listened to The Poseidon Project and Archipelago audiobooks. Even though I wrote the story, it’s fun to hear it told by the narrator. Overall, I prefer reading, but open to trying new formats.
What makes this a must-listen audiobook?
Archipelago is a complex, but very vivid story set in some beautiful locales in the South Pacific islands. The characters are unique as are the relationships between them. Evil lurks beneath the beauty, both the locations and the people.
Each character’s storyline ends very differently than it started.
