Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the get-go. The Visitor is a thrilling ride that had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. Marni Penning's narration is spot-on, bringing Evelyn Slater to life with a perfect balance of strength and vulnerability. The pacing is excellent, with just the right amount of suspense and revelation to keep you engaged. My only critique is that some of the political maneuvering could have been a bit more nuanced, but overall, it's a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar listen. If you're a fan of first contact stories with a healthy dose of political intrigue, this is a must-listen.
