Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Frank Gerard's narration is nothing short of stellar, imbuing each scene with the right amount of urgency and emotion. Andy Carter’s journey from college dropout to committed soldier is both thrilling and harrowing, making every moment count. The audiobook’s pacing is excellent, balancing action sequences with deep introspection. However, at times, the ideological backstories feel a bit rushed, leaving some gaps in character development. Despite this, 'First Days' remains an engaging and thought-provoking listen, perfectly suited for audiobook enthusiasts who enjoy both high-stakes narratives and nuanced exploration of political beliefs.
