Brazilian Gold Mine Mystery


Read by Peter Thomlinson (1940-2022)

(4.3 stars; 105 reviews)

Mystery adventure, fiction ( Peter Thomlinson). This is a very exciting and gripping story set in the jungles of Brazil and Venezuela, and the quest for the famous El Dorado gold. Incidents with dangerous wild animals, not to mention encounters with head hunters and other native tribes, plus some black magic hocus-pocus all add to the suspense. Double dealing and threats as well as actual confrontations all make life difficult for our brave heroes, and often cause the expedition problems which slows down the quest for the yellow gold. This is a good geography lesson also, and readers will learn about all those huge rivers that flow through these regions, including the huge River Amazon. (4 hr 9 min)

Fun boys adventure story. Treck through the jungle and down the Orinoco. This is part of a series. Librivox.com has several recorded, all are full of adventure and feature exotic locales.

Unsettling


(3.5 stars)

A little too scary compared to other of Biff's adventures. Not as enjoyable for me, but I'm a girl and boys would probably like it.


(5 stars)

Great Story but the Narration is so so. Hope someday Mark Smith redo this then it would 5 stars without a....but.

as exciting as watching paint dry.
