Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Napoleon Ryan’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; his ability to modulate tone and inject urgency into the text elevates 'Russian Roulette' beyond mere facts. The narrative is meticulously paced, with a breathless quality that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Milton’s writing style is both meticulous and engaging, painting a vivid picture of Lenin and his comrades as they navigate the treacherous waters of Russian politics. However, some sections feel overly dense with historical minutiae, which might slow down casual listeners. Still, for history buffs or those drawn to political thrillers, this audiobook is an intoxicating journey that demands attention from start to finish.
