Narrated by: Adam Croasdell

Production by: Xlibris

The Mystery of the Arecibo Revealed!

The creation of the Arecibo Radio Telescope (Arecibo) has been a mystery for decades. The true creator and the thought process behind its creation have been shrouded and protected.  Why? In this book, the author reveals all the deep secrets surrounding the Arecibo and its various uses.

The author, Helias Doundoulakis details the history of Arecibo beginning with the creator and his inspiration behind its creation.  Furthermore, he reveals the CIA’s involvement and more.  Importantly though, it is the story of two brothers who endure and succeed in the various military endeavors they enlist in from the MI6 to the US and more. He brings the human quality into the story in rich and vivid detail.  The story is interesting and historically accurate. 

The narrator, Adam Croasdell delivers a strong performance.  He speaks clearly and with a steady cadence that keeps the story moving forward.  He projects the love and respect the author holds for his brother and their time together. 

Overall, this is an interesting and well-written historical and creative non-fiction book.  My only issue was how long it took to get to the actual story.  Having to go through definitions, acronym meanings, and then the prologue. However, these pieces were necessary to ground the listener, it was just slightly tedious.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
