About this listen

 New York Times best-selling author Harry Turtledove has intrigued readers with such thought-provoking "what if..." scenarios as a conquered Elizabethan England in Ruled Britannia and a Japanese occupation of Hawaii in Days of Infamy and End of the Beginning. Now, in the first of a brand-new trilogy, he rewrites the history of the world with the existence of an eighth continent.

Atlantis lies between Europe and the East Coast of Terranova. For many years, this land of opportunity lured dreamers from around the globe with its natural resources, offering a new beginning for those willing to brave the wonders of the unexplored land.

Classic what if story

Harry Turtledove does a great job of asking what if THIS happened instead. How would history be altered. What heroes/villains and events still make it into the history books? What new heroes/villains and events arise instead.

The world he crafted is very similar to our own, but with some differences which made it interesting. The exploration and settling of Atlantis took centuries so he focuses on three defining moments/stories to tell the tale.

Not his best writing but still pretty engaging. I read this about 10 years ago and was interested enough to listen to the audiobook now to re-live the story.

Pirates in Atlantis

Not what I was expecting, but interesting and entertaining nonetheless. A good listening experience.
