Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

John Lee’s narration in 'Hornet Flight' is nothing short of brilliant, delivering a performance that perfectly captures the intensity of early World War II. As Harald navigates the perilous landscape of occupied Denmark, Lee's voice conveys both the innocence and the growing awareness of danger. The pacing is impeccable—Follett’s intricate plot unfolds at just the right speed to maintain suspense without dragging. However, some scenes could benefit from a bit more emotional depth to fully resonate with listeners. Still, this audiobook stands as a testament to Follett's storytelling prowess and Lee's masterful performance, making it an essential addition to any audiophile’s collection.
