Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

George Newbern’s narration is nothing short of exceptional, bringing an authentic and urgent tone to every scene. His ability to convey the fear, desperation, and hope in Moser's story is both moving and immersive. The pacing is masterful, seamlessly transitioning from aerial dogfights to the grim realities of captivity without losing momentum. However, some sections on logistics and strategic planning might slow down those more interested in personal narratives. Overall, 'Lightning Down' is a must-listen for anyone intrigued by World War II history or survival stories.
