About this audiobook

The Dakota Cipher is a supple, elegant thriller that carries the reader triumphantly from one exciting climax to the next.”
—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key

Ethan Gage is a fearless adventurer who has crossed paths (and, sometimes, swords) with the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin—and whose unabashed derring do puts even Indiana Jones to shame. Now Gage is back for a third time in William Dietrich’s The Dakota Cipher, an ingenious page-turner that carries our hero to the American wilderness in search of an almost unthinkably powerful ancient artifact. No stranger to thrilling action himself, New York Times bestseller James Rollins, author of Black Order, The Last Oracle, and Altar of Eden, is a dedicated fan of Dietrich’s Ethan Gage novels, and proclaims that, “The Dakota Cipher should be read by anyone who loves adventure at its grandest.”

    My favorite yet of the Gage series. Everyone knows about the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark, so it was clever of Dietrich to go back a few years and pick the brief period of Napoleonic rule as the setting. I want to go see those runestones in Minnesota! Looking forward to the next book.

    This is William Dietrich's third adventure featuring Ethan Gage. I really enjoyed the first two Gage books and was excited to come across the newest one. I felt it was lacking in the thrills and intrigue of the first two, but it was still an interesting story. I was interested, too, in the portrayal of the American frontier in 1800. Dietrich does some very thorough research for his books.

    I have enjoyed the previous two Gage stories, but this Gage is less self assured, more egocentric, and more driven by his libido. Gage has not grown as a character due to his previous adventures - he has become more simplistic.I agree that the setting was novel, and the description of Louisiana interesting, but this novel lacked some of the exotic allure of the previous two. I look forward to the fourth book, to see if Gage can become less of a caricature.

    My least favorite of the trilogy so far. The first part felt more like a Harlequin Romance for men. When it gets going it's pretty good, but it takes too long.
