Where does Black Ships Before Troy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was a standout, largely due to the performance, by the lovely Robert Glenister. The story, though of course familiar, was told well and at a great involving pace.

What did you like best about this story?

The narration

What does Robert Glenister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice has a very pleasant tone and he does the different voices very well, without being over the top

This retelling of the story of the Illiad is wonderful, vivid and dramatic, and Robert Glenister reads this perfectly. This ancient story is made entertaining, accessible and has been made into a classic audiobook, and one which is well worth adding to your collection.

A wonderful telling of a classic story
