Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Theodore O'Brien’s narration in 'Rising Sun, Falling Skies' is a tour de force, bringing to life the raw intensity of the Japanese invasion with an almost palpable authenticity. His deep baritone resonates with authority, yet he can also convey the fear and desperation felt by soldiers and civilians alike. The pacing is impeccable; Cox's meticulous research ensures that each battle and personal story feels meticulously detailed without ever lagging. However, some listeners might find the sheer volume of historical information overwhelming at times, especially in the initial chapters where the narrative density is highest. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by World War II history or those who appreciate deeply researched, narratively compelling narratives.
