Breaking Point

A Novel of the Battle of Britain

De: John Rhodes

Narrado por: Evie Butcher

1940, World War II. The Nazis have crushed Europe, and Hitler launches a massive aerial assault with the Luftwaffe against the heavily outnumbered British RAF. The fate of civilization teeters in the balance.

Johnnie Shaux, a Spitfire fighter pilot, must summon up the fortitude to fly into a battle where death is all but inevitable, and continue to do so until the inevitable occurs....

Eleanor Rand, a brilliant fighter command mathematician, studies the control room map constantly tracking the ebbs and flows of the conflict, and sees the glimmerings of a radical breakthrough....

Breaking Point is based on actual events in the Battle of Britain. Written with a penetrating historical accuracy of World War II and breathtaking speed, Breaking Point puts you inside the cockpit as the pilots duel to the death, inside RAF headquarters as the commanders makes their decisions, and inside the lives of young men and women facing one of the great crises in modern history.

Great story, bad production

The reader did a fine job but her work was marred by having apparently recorded it in 4 different spaces, 3 of which sounded like differently sized empty rooms w concrete walls instead of studios. Also the cutting back and forth between these different soundscapes, sometimes only for a phrase, was very distracting.

All that said, I loved the story and will be picking up the next book in the series. Fingers crossed they get the sound straightened out.

Great read

Narration could do with being a little smoother between cuts, but didnt take away from story

Terrible sound quality

Not sure how this made it into production. Good story so far but tinny, uneven sound is really frustrating.
