Todd Mclaren reads OPENING ATLANTIS

I, just today, finished listening to Harry Turtledove's OPENING ATLANTIS. I sought it out solely because Todd Mclaren is the narrator. As far as Turtledove books go this is the weakest I have experienced. But it is redeemed by the dulcet tones of Todd Mclaren. Again, Mclaren delivers a one-man-show that is a pleasure to listen to. My only regret is that the text did not provide enough foreign accents to showcase Mclaren's talent. I really like his portrayal of British Aristocrats, Frenchmen and Runaway Slaves. His characterization of these is spot on. Recommended for the narration, not the story.
