DARK PLACES OF THE EARTH The Voyage of the Slave Ship Antelope

This audiobook offers an enlightening and thorough discussion of the slave trade and the U.S. court system during the early 1800s. Tom Zingarelli's solid narration carries listeners through arcane discussions of maritime law and Supreme Court proceedings. During the more exciting passages involving action on the high seas, including piracy, his voice carries a tone of excitement, and his pace quickens ever so slightly. The extent of the legal detail, however, may lead some listeners to abandon the book after the story leaves the ocean and works its way through the courts.
