Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured 'Fall; or, Dodge in Hell' in a single, marathon listening session – a testament to the audiobook's engaging narrative and Malcolm Hillgartner's captivating performance. Hillgartner's narration is superb, bringing Dodge's voice to life with a perfect balance of humor, intensity, and vulnerability. The story's pacing is well-balanced, veering seamlessly between philosophical debates and high-stakes action sequences. If I have any criticisms, it's that the supporting cast can sometimes feel underdeveloped, and the narrative's denser moments can be overwhelming. Nevertheless, 'Fall; or, Dodge in Hell' is a thought-provoking, wildly entertaining ride that will appeal to fans of science fiction, gaming, and philosophical thrillers.
