THE OLD WORLD: BY THE HANDS OF MEN
Book 1

by Roy M. Griffis

Narrated by: Ian Pringle

Production by: Perseverance Furthers

Intriguing Experience!

Robert Fitzgerald is a young English Lieutenant fighting in WW1. Robert assists Charlotte Braninov, a nurse, save the life of another soldier. Parting, their encounter lingered long in their minds until they are reunited once again. As the war continues wreaking havoc, death, and destruction across Europe their journey takes them around the world. One must question whether the strength of their love will survive.

The author, Roy M. Griffis delivers a fascinating, engrossing creative fictional novel based on historical events and several people. He goes into vivid and graphic details leaving nothing to the imagination. His character development is just as rich and detailed as well. The listener cannot help but be drawn into the story.

The narrator, Ian Pringle does a great job of narration utilizing unique voices for each and projecting the appropriate emotions. I found his performance to be equally rich and entertaining, especially when voicing Robert Fitzgerald in his stiff and proper manner equal to his personality. I found his performance to be entertaining and added to the story.

While this is a rich and excellent experience due to the efforts of the author and narrator, the story became bogged down in details. Overall, this book about fate, loss, and cruelty of humanity is well worth the time to hear.

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