Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an avid sci-fi listener, I was instantly drawn into Columbus Day by Craig Alanson, and R.C. Bray's captivating narration only added to the experience. Bray masterfully brings the characters to life, from the human soldiers to the Ruhar invaders, with distinct accents and inflections that differentiate each voice. The story's pacing is well-executed, keeping listeners engaged throughout the 16-hour audiobook. One critique I have is that the plot can feel a bit predictable at times, with certain twists being easily discernible. However, the overall experience of this immersive, action-packed tale is not diminished. If you're a fan of intricate sci-fi worlds and engaging narration, Columbus Day is a must-listen.
