Of the recent additions, "A Dangerous Fortune" is much better.
The narrator in this one is ok, but all spoken words are performed by different actors, and unfortunately the actors are a little below "B Movie" actors.
I don't particularly care for the spoken word cut-away style production, the story loses flow, and since the actors are not very good in this one, it really detracts.
The story is interesting and takes you to the Russian war on Afghanistan during 1981. It does shed light on just how horrible the fanatical muslim life is for women, and served to raise my disgust level for those civilizations a notch higher.
I could never really figure out if Follett was trying to touch a level of sympathy with the Afghans or not. I found it impossible to do so if that was the intent.
In the end, you wanted the story's hero to win, but hoped both sides would lose the war.
Good, but the multiple voice reading was poor

PERFORMANCE - Some reviewers have severely criticized this multivoice performance, which makes me wonder how many audiobooks they've listened to. When compared to a single reader who doesn't even attempt voices of the opposite sex or one who tries but sounds sexually challenged, I thought this performance was awesome. It's not perfect, but Jane sounded like a female, Jean-Pierre sounded French, the Russians sounded Russian, etc. They even made pretty good attempts at making people sound like they were on the phone or a radio, when necessary. I thought it was a great effort and well worth it.
OVERALL - Highly recommended equally for men and women. As I said, this is a book about international suspense, NOT a romance. There is violence, cursing and the abovementioned sex scene (during which I heard the c-word for the first time on Audible.)
Follett is becoming one of my must-hear authors
