Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's usually more drawn to fiction, I was pleasantly surprised by how captivating 'Attacked at Sea' was. Alex Boyles' narration is spot-on, capturing the urgency and danger of the situation without being overly dramatic. The pacing is excellent, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats with just the right amount of detail about the ship's mechanics and the crew's actions. The story is a testament to the power of true events, and while I wish there was more about the civilian passengers, the focus on the merchant seamen and their bravery is inspiring. My only critique is that some of the historical context could have been woven in more smoothly, but overall, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in history or adventure.
