Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

B.J. Harrison's narration is the star of this show. His ability to switch between characters, from the young and naive David to the gruff and weathered Alan Breck, is nothing short of impressive. The pacing is spot-on, building tension and suspense as David navigates treacherous waters, both literal and figurative. However, some of the historical details can feel like info-dumps, momentarily breaking the narrative's momentum. Overall, 'Kidnapped' is a captivating listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat, making it a must-listen for fans of adventure and historical fiction.
