Audiobook Review: The Dragons of the Storm by George Robert Minkoff

The Dragons of the Storm is the second novel of the In The Land of Whispers Trilogy by the esteemed George Robert Minkoff and it has just been released in audiobook format this June to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown.

Beautifully written, immersive and intriguing, The Dragons of the Storm picks up exactly where The Weight of Smoke leaves off. Focusing on Sir Francis Drake’s circumnavigation of the world and intertwined with the adventures leading to John Smith’s Jamestown, this is pure literature, delivered to us as a form of sublime art!

Combining historic events with quality fiction, George Robert Minkoff has proved to us all that a trilogy of such epic scope and proportions can captivate our attention, make us reflect on the past and thanks to him, live in it for a few precious hours.

The Dragons of the Storm flows with life as an audiobook, narrated by the fantastic Shakespearean actor Nigel Gore. He is not just reading, he is acting the entire book, giving unique voices and accents to all the characters, pushing the story forward with his vivid descriptions of the surrounding world and keeping the listeners enthralled and mesmerized by this epic adventure of the English in the New World.

Nigel Gore is the perfect choice for this narration as he makes accessible this fantastic work to those who could have been daunted by the author’s specific writing style. When listening to the audiobook I got the distinct impression that I was hearing a play of epic proportions, set on an invisible stage, where only my imagination was the limit.

Delivering instant and complete immersion, Nigel Gore transforms a great book into a masterpiece audiobook.

Listen to the sample and if you like what you hear, start this fantastic trilogy from its begining… You are in for a treat!
