Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Lisa Flanagan's narration is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to seamlessly switch between the diverse characters keeps the story engaging and dynamic. The pacing is perfect—slowing down during suspenseful moments and speeding up during action sequences. James Ponti’s vivid descriptions of Cairo bring the city to life, but it's his deft handling of complex spy tactics that truly makes City of the Dead shine. One critique: while the plot twists are clever, a few subplots feel underdeveloped. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a thrilling adventure for any young listener curious about international espionage.
