Review
What do get when you mix Indiana Jones with the CIA and a PBS documentary? The Gold of Exodus, the riveting true story of lost treasure, international conspiracy, and biblical legend. Boyd Gaines reads Howard Blum's account of two fortune seekers' quest for the mythical gold of Moses in a convincing, authoritative voice, instantly drawing the listener into the actual events surrounding the mystery of the millennium. He switches in and out of character with the ease of a vaudeville ventriloquist, imitating everyone from rough-and-tumble Texans to angry Arabs with menacing accents. The story centers around the quest of millionaire adventurer Larry Williams and ex-cop Bob Cornuke to find Old Testament treasure, the Israeli gold left behind on Mt. Sinai when Moses led his people out of Egypt. However, Williams and Burke get much more than they ever imagined: a convoluted collusion, more spies than you can shake a stick at, and shotgun-wielding nomads on a mission from Allah. Jabal al Lawz, the suspected Mt. Sinai, is a remote mountain in Saudi Arabia that holds much more than buried booty; it's also a military lair stuffed with enough nuclear contraband to blow Israel to kingdom come and back again--a secret that may cost Williams and Cornuke their lives. (Four cassettes; running time: 4.5 hours)
