Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Todd McLaren's narration is the linchpin that makes 'Last Orders' sing. His ability to convey the urgency and drama of Turtledove’s complex narrative is unparalleled—each character feels alive. The pacing is excellent; it neither drags nor races through pivotal moments, ensuring every twist and turn resonates. Despite the weighty subject matter, McLaren finds levity in quieter moments, making the audiobook more than just a history lesson. However, some scenes could benefit from clearer transitions between narrative and dialogue to maintain full immersion. The story’s blend of epic scale and intimate human stories makes 'Last Orders' a must-listen for fans of military and alternate history fiction.
