Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

James MacKenzie brings his signature gusto to 'The Dead City,' giving the narrative a vivid energy that propels listeners through its quirky plot. His performance is nothing short of electrifying, with perfect pacing that keeps the listener hooked from start to finish. The humor in this prologue is both clever and biting, with MacKenzie nailing the delivery to emphasize every punchline. However, some might find the rapid-fire wit a bit overwhelming at times, which can make it hard to catch all the subtleties. Despite this minor quibble, 'The Dead City' remains a captivating listen that will leave you chuckling and eager for more.
