À propos de cet audio

This true modern masterpiece is built around the two fateful words that make up the title and herald the end - “Alas, Babylon.” When a nuclear holocaust ravages the United States, a thousand years of civilization are stripped away overnight, and tens of millions of people are killed instantly.

But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to confront the darkness. Will Patton's narration paints this classic tale as an ominous picture of the terrible possibilites of the nuclear age.

Ce que les critiques en disent

  • Audie Award Winner, Fiction, 2012
"An enthralling and vivid story of the follies and failures of people, their courage and cruelty, their treachery and triumphs. Mr. Frank is a magnificent writer." ( Chicago Sunday Tribune)
"A warm, continuously interesting story of what can happen to a group of ordinary people in a perilous situation." ( New York Herald Tribune)
“Will Patton is a calm and steady narrator whose quiet intensity wraps around this post-apocalyptic saga...He reflects the tones of deference of women to men, nonwhites to whites, and children to adults. In a conversational tone, he quietly brings the characters and their relationships to life.” ( AudioFile)

Will Patton did an excellent job. In fact, were it not for such books as Look Homeward, Angel; The Grapes of Wrath; The Book Thief; Time & Unforeseen Occurrence; and a few Russian classics, we would have rated this book a ‘5,’ but such other books do exist. There’s excellent, and then there’s something more, beyond excellence, and perhaps beyond description. (I thought the last sentence of Alas, Babylon was perfect.)

A most enjoyable listening experience.

I just loved this story !! The reader took a couple chapters to get used too. Some awkward pauses . Once I got used to it I was hooked . I love how he gave every character their own voice . The story itself even though old is so relatable . This could very well happen . Excellent Book highly recommend!!!

such a good story.

Will Patton is an excellent narrator, even when doing the women's voices, he manages to avoid making them one-dimensional.

Great story, great narrator!

“One Second After “ was my favourite post-apocalyptic book until I listened to Alas Babylon.
This one is a classic. It has all (and I mean) all that a prepper might wish for in a novel.
Even though it was written in 1959 it is a timeless classic.
Narrator was perfect for this book.
Very happy with my purchase.

My favourite post-apocalyptic book so far

As someone who really enjoys post-apocalyptic novels, I really enjoyed this novel.

At first, listening to Will's narration, I couldn't stop picturing the actor in my mind. it didn't take long though before I was just hearing the characters' voices.

All in all a great story that I would highly recommend.

A Great Listen - Highly Recommend

I first read this in grade 6 and is still a fast-paced slice of alternate post WW2.
Enjoyed it again.

Narration is steady, and convincing. The story feels contemporary ( which can be scary) Listened to this presentation 3 times so far. Excellent

Gripping Story

This is by far my favourite book. I own three Soft cover copies and now the digital version. I was concerned that the storyteller might affect the way I appreciated the box but no, it was excellent. It’s a great story and I’ll listen to it many more times.

Awesome story...
