Wow. Take the relic hunters and place them against each other. The brothers stick together, but when there are orders to hunt them down, wouldn’t you rather your own team find you than somebody else? This one was crazy! Read this if you like turning the pages and not being able to stop reading!

This is book 5 in a series, and I admittedly started with this book and wasn’t confused totally can be done as a standalone.
Join Matt and Adam in adventures across timelines and povs there is historical fiction and fantasy while exploring Greek heros, several famous lost cities and battles alike! This author expertly weaves his tale with great attention to detail and characters making you instantly invested. The timelines and pov changes frequently but the start of each chapter is labeled with a character and the “when” of what’s happening. The chapters are also mercifully shorter allowing you to capture things in small snippets but getting great detail and world building so both YA readers and Adults can BOTH enjoy this series. Very well done and now I need to go back and learn more!

After the Museum is taken over by the United Nations Security and Adam’s best friends mom, Elizabeth, who is also rumored to be a part of Winterbourne, Adam is told for the second time to investigate the Alpha team’s room.
Adam’s curiosity peaked. Once he broke into the room he was greeted with a bunch of old equipment and photos. In one of the photos is Charles, Elizabeth and their father! Turns out he was a hunter too and went down in a storm years ago. Adam and Matt right then and there quit. They no longer trust Charles and with the museum being under new management, it only makes sense to cut ties now.
Their mother and Charles give the boys the last things that their father had left for them. A letter and a journal. With that the boys decide to find out the truth about what happened to their father. Without the help from the museum, they need to do all of this secretly. After some investigating, it seems their father was looking for Atlantis.
There are flashbacks to a time when Atlantis still stood with mention of a few of the Greek Gods.
Again, Martin Ferguson shows how much research they put into their writing. The book started off with a twist, capturing my intrigue instantly. I love Greek Mythology and this was right up my alley. Will the Hunter Brothers really find Atlantis?

Relic Hunters book 5 is amazing, and I’m immediately going back to book 1. I love Greek mythology, the smooth transitions between past and present, Adam and Matt and the world that has been built and shared in this book. I was fully engrossed and didn’t feel confused about anything, but I did feel curious and interested in getting more engrossed in this world.
Adam and Matt are on the most important quest so far, and journey through Troy, deal with tragedies and Greek heroes, and a world full of wonderful characters. In the midst of all of this, they are on the run and being hunted as criminals themselves. The cover art drew my original attention, the summary made me interested, and reading the actual story has made me a fan. I can see these books even piquing the interest of non readers.

Betrayal of the Gods is book 5 in the incredibly addictive Relic Hunter series by Martin Ferguson. I have read every single book from this series so far, and Martin outdoes himself every single time!! This book can be read as a stand-alone but I heavily recommend starting from the beginning because you’re gonna love it! As with every book in this series it’s full with twists and turns, incredible storytelling, and lovable characters with adventure around every corner. I love this series and jumped at the chance to read the newest addition, and continue to recommend it highly!

This is book five in the Relic Hunters series and can be read as a standalone. The chapters are small enough and easy to be digested for a young adult audience. I felt so much confused as the chapters go back and forth in time, even though they do give a heading at the beginning of each one. There’s plenty of adventure and the weaving of Greek mythology throughout the plot was done well. Ferguson creates attention to detail to keep the reader engrossed in the story. It’s a call to adventure readers will enjoy.

Relic Hunters: Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Series) by Martin Ferguson is a great young adult series
Adam and Matt Hunter set out on their most intimate quest to date, but they are by themselves this time. The brothers are competing in the biggest race of their lives without any gear or assistance. If they are to survive as they go through the Greek mythology legends, they will need to employ all of their abilities. Declared criminals, they will be hunted down by tenacious adversaries and people they had considered allies; their own group, tasked with putting an end to Adam and Matt at whatever costs.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

This is the first book I read by Martin Ferguson, despite being the fifth book in the Relic Hunter Series. While technically this book COULD be read as a standalone, due to the character building and storylines from previous books that I’m assuming contribute to the reader’s understanding of this book, I would highly recommend reading them in order. (This is not to say it can’t be done, however there were many mentions of previous characters, etc. that I wish I would have had the previous stories to outline).
At any rate! I thoroughly enjoyed the marrying of Greek mythology with current artifact hunters, and especially enjoyed the interlacing of well known Greek myths with the tales of the lost city of Atlantis, a myth I know much less about. The relic hunters themselves were fun to “get to know” in the story, brothers trying to hunt down their father’s last mission (along with the very recent discovery that they unknowingly were following in their father’s footsteps).
Most importantly, I’m dying to read the next one because it definitely didn’t resolve here! Plan on reading book six FOR SURE!

Betrayal of the Gods is Book Five in the Relic Hunters Series. It is a YA adventure with drama, action, mystery, intrigue, and danger. The story is superbly written and full of historical detail, Greek mythology and folklore. Brothers Matt and Adam must race against time to try to solve the mystery around what happened to their father. In this adventure the brothers find themselves without the help of their team and aided only by their wit and skills to solve the mystery. A fast-paced story with twists and turns that will keep you riveted and have you reading until the final pages. I highly recommend this book and this series!

This is the 5 th book in The Relic Hunters Series. Although each book can be read as a standalone, you have more knowledge and background of the storylines and characters if you read them in order. It’s been a while since I read the first book but it didn’t take long before I was sucked into Matt and Adam’s adventure. I especially like reading about the different locations the brothers travel to and search for the relic. The world the author created is action packed, keeps the story moving, and we get to know these characters and why they hunt for the relics.

Relic Hunters: Betrayal of the Gods (Relic Hunters Series) by Martin Ferguson . This is the 5th installment in the Relic Hunter series and it follows 2 brothers Matt and Adam. They are continuing their mission to find the lost city of Atlantis. The brothers are facing something they’ve never had to deal with in a battle and that is they have no equipment or supplies to help them fight the battle of their lives. They have to rely on their skills and smarts as they fight. The boys learn so much about Greek myths thru this story and they learn they don’t know nearly as much as they thought they did. There is a side story about Princess Alaina of Atlantis and her fight in the Trojan War as well. This is a fast paced young adult story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will want to finish it when you start. I highly recommend reading these in order to help you better understand the story line and characters.

So, I haven’t read any of this series previously but I actually found it pretty easy to read and follow. This isn’t my usual genre to read either but I thought the synopsis sounded interesting so thought I would give it a try. I was really impressed with the authors writing style, his writing was very engaging and I know my attention was kept throughout. It was easy to read and was a perfect book for YA readers. There was quite a lot going on in the story, it was very fast paced and full of action but at the same time it wasn’t confusing and easy to follow. The characters are really interesting and I would certainly like to read the previous books in the story to find out more about them.
Overall a really good read and one that I would highly recommend.

I enjoyed the dynamic between Matt and Adam. I loved how I love the mythology references in this story. I was able to enjoy this as a standalone not having read the previous books, which I feel like I might need to read those as well. Enjoyed the story and want to know more about Matt and Adam. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

Betrayal of the Gods is the 5th installment of the Relic Hunters Series.
Just like the books before it, it sucks you in right from the start. Although technically I guess anyone who hadn’t read the previous books could pick this up and read it as a stand alone, but my suggestion would be read them in order as they come out.
This is a fantastic mix of fiction, greek mythology and history. It is rather fast paced, so I was able to hunker down and read this in one sitting.

This is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series, and it absolutely blows my mind that each and every one of them has been incredible! I knew from previous books in the series that I wasn’t going to be able to put it down, so I made sure to find a quiet, comfortable place to devour this entire thing. I recommend reading this series in order as the characters have been in each one, and their dynamic changes a bit throughout. This book closely follows Adam and Matt as they are in quite the predicament. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire way through as the author really dialed up the suspense and danger in this one. I won’t give anything away except the fact that you will need to clear a few hours of your day to devour this book. I highly recommend picking it up (and the series) because it’s phenomenal! I’ll be following this author closely so I can enjoy more of their expertly crafted tales.

It has been a while since I have read the previous books in the series so I was excited to get my hands on the latest instalment. I found it so easy to reconnect with the characters. They are on another fantastic journey that was excited, action packed and honestly brilliant to read.
I think this book has to be my favourite in the series so far. It combines so many different elements and it feels like it keeps the book fresh and interesting. This book is full of twists and turns and I enjoyed every moment of it. I would highly recommend this book and the whole series.

This was a fun book. There were some interesting plot lines. I also found the weaving of mythology well done. I liked the characters but wasn’t as in invested in them as I would have liked. I feel like I should probably read the others in the series.

This is the fifth book in the Relic Hunters series. As a lover of history this series has been a favourite of mine since book 1. The author does an incredible job of mixing history with adventure. Their attention to detail in every area really brings history to life and I love being transported back in time. In this book we mainly deal with Greek history and mythology and the surprising realisation that not all myths are stories. Some are actually true.
Adam and Matt face their biggest challenge to date as they have to go alone to solve the mystery of what happened to their day. Without the help of their team or equipment the odds are really stacked against them. With people taking other the museum, trying to take all the things they have preserved from history and secrets and lies being unravel the brothers are not stuck with not knowing who they can trust. Can they even trust their own team mates or boss. Or is their boss hiding more secrets from them.
This is a fast paced story as the brothers race against time to solve the mystery of what happened to their dad, while facing the the myths and legends from Greek Mythology and if that is not enough they are seen as outlaws and their old friends and team mates are tasked with stopping them from completing their tasks and getting to the truth.
This book is an enjoyable read for young adults and old adults alike. The story is captivating and full of twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat. Once you start this series you will not be able to stop reading it.

Betrayal of the Gods is the fifth instalment of Martin Ferguson’s Relic Hunters series. The majority of the book follows Adam, and his brother, Matt, who set off to finish the mission their father started: to find the lost city of Atlantis. But the book also follows Princess Alaina of Atlantis and her experience of the Trojan War. It was really interesting reading these stories alongside each other, centuries apart, and seeing how they connected. My favourite character is Adam and my least favourite character is Elizabeth. I recommend this book because I love Greek mythology and this is a really interesting take on it, I think Martin did really well incorporating history and mythology into his own fantasy series. I’d really like to read the sixth and final instalment of the series, to see if Adam and Matt really did find Atlantis. ‘I had not known love before him. If he should fall, I would not want to live on without him.’

I had almost forgotten about this series until I saw this book out and knew I had to get it. Martin knows how to write an enticing tale in this genre. I was so excited to jump in.
Betrayal of the Gods is the fifth book in the amazing Relic Hunters series. Whether you are a YA or in your sixties like me this adventure story is another exciting tale in this excellent series. This is my favourite in the series to date, but I do tend to think that with the others.
Martin gives his readers plenty of thrills, mystery, drama and danger that jumps off the page. Add in some twists and turns in this complex and engaging storyline and you have an action-packed story that has been cleverly woven into a tale that cannot be missed. With historical facts mixed in Martin has created something so engrossing that you will not want to put it down.
Adam and Matt are in the fight for their lives this time. It is the brothers against the world and now they don’t know who is friend or foe as they race against time learning myth and legends to find what they are after but with everyone against them things are not as hopeful as they should be.
This one will have the blood pumping as you race against hope with them.
I can’t wait for more from Martin.

Wow, this is action-packed all the way. Adam and Matt are in trouble. We see them get through on their own when all is against them. We get to see them go through Greek Mythology this time. The drama and action make this story full of drama, unpredictable action, and twists and turns. What a ride this series has been so far. I’m looking forward to reading more.
