Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Scott Thrift's performance is nothing short of outstanding; his crisp, clear voice and dynamic pacing keep the listener hooked from start to finish. The diary format adds a unique layer, immersing you in Fritz Napoleon Smith’s world with its vivid descriptions of future technologies like flying cars and underwater cities. However, some passages feel rushed, which occasionally disrupts the narrative flow. Despite this minor quibble, In the Year 2889 is an electrifying journey into Verne's mind and a testament to his enduring imagination.
