THE GREAT WAR: BREAKTHROUGHS

Have you ever wondered what would have happened had the South won the Civil War? This is the premise of Turtledove's Great War series. The alternative history, set in 1917, during WWI, is peopled with General Armstrong Custer, Teddy Roosevelt, and many others as historical characters fight North against South, slaves against freemen, Americans against Canadians, and much more. This third volume out of four takes a while to orient the listener who jumps into the middle of this series, and George Guidall is the narrator to tie all the loose ends together. The multitude of plot lines takes a while to get going, but Guidall tackles each one with finesse and aplomb, as only a Golden Voice can do. M.B.K.
