Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

William Dufris brings a seasoned actor's precision to Old Man's War. His narration is both authoritative and warm, perfectly mirroring the protagonist John Perry as he transitions from septuagenarian to interstellar soldier. The story’s blend of light-hearted humor and heavy ethical dilemmas keeps you glued to every word. However, some listeners might find the rapid pace challenging at times, with plot twists landing a bit too close together. Despite this, Dufris’ performance ensures that even the most complex scenarios remain accessible and captivating.
