Resurrection Day

De: Brendan DuBois

Narrado por: Rich McVicar

"Everyone remembers exactly what they were doing the day President Kennedy tried to kill them."

In 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of the nuclear war. The crisis was averted, but what would have happened if war had broken out? In Resurrection Day, award-winning author Brendan DuBois brings this horrific concept to life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" Resurrection Day is the best 'what if' novel in years - more clever and resonant than Robert Harris's Fatherland - and all the more scary because disaster was minutes away from happening for real. A book you'll read three times and keep on your shelves forever." (Lee Child)

"In his first novel outside of his acclaimed Lewis Cole mystery series DuBois delivers an alternate-history thriller that deserves to be as popular as Robert Harris' 'Fatherland. DuBois postulates an America that has been politically devastated by a nuclear exchange arising from the Cuban missile crisis.... Cohesively plotted and smoothly written, steadily exciting and rife with clever conceits, this is what-if thriller fiction at its finest." ( Publishers Weekly)

riviting!

Transported me back to a world that could have been. Great narration and non stop action mystery thriller.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

I picked up this book again after about 20 years. I had a dream about a specific scene in the book and figured it couldn't hurt to reread it. I am an entirely different person than I was when I first read this, shortly after 9/11, and it is so very much better on the second visit with older, more mature and educated me. What a treasure. Usually, alternate histories aren't anything to write home about. They're sort of circling the drain of the same old tropes and points of divergence again and again. This is a refreshing take, on a less visited topic. I highly recommend this book. The story is good, the characters are good and the worldbuilding is even greater. Don't miss out!

GREAT alternate history

This is the third DuBois book I’ve read, the others were co-written with Patterson. After enjoying those I thought I’d try one that Dubois wrote by himself. Although the story starts slowly, the book turned out to be outstanding!!! The alternate history story showed tremendous imagination with lots of unanticipated twists. The final half of the book I couldn’t put down. Definitely worth reading. I’m going to find another DuBois book to read next.

Enjoyable

Well-constructed story, good pacing and an interesting "what-if". Narrator has a nice voice, but absolutely terrible British accent, which was distracting. Apart from that, a good listen.

Iinteresting Historical what if !

I was always intrigued to listen to this book , I like a good Historical what if story, and the Cuban missile crisis was a big one ! I really think this book could have been edited a lot more, I would have made easier reading , overall not a bad story , but the narration was terrible , very lack lustre , and his English accents were atrocious ! I think a good narrator can even make an average book good , and a bad narrator can make a good book real hard to listen to !
