Review: Cross Winds: Adventure and Entrepreneurship in the Russian Far East by Steven Myers, read by Ryan Clark
The audio production of Cross Winds: Adventure and Entrepreneurship in the Russian Far East brings this highly acclaimed and thrilling Amazon International Bestseller based on a true story to audiobook listeners everywhere. Written by Steven Myers, a pilot with 12 jet-type ratings, this epic aviation adventure is inspiring and entertaining.
Aside from being a talented pilot, a hugely successful entrepreneur and CEO, Mr. Myers proves to be a top-notch writer as he expertly shares with us a story that encapsulates and perfectly captures the spirit of flying adventure in a time when all the technology available in modern cockpits today was the stuff of science fiction.
The Publisher’s Summary will help you make an impression of what this audiobook is about but trust me when I tell you that you’ll be completely immersed and involved in this adventure, even if you don’t read anything about it before you start.
Russian speaking jet pilot, active-duty U.S. service member, entertainer and audiobook narrator Ryan Clark was the perfect choice as the voice for the audiobook version of Cross Winds: Adventure and Entrepreneurship in the Russian Far East.
Ryan reads beautifully in a clear and very pleasant voice, performs all the appropriate conversations with skill and manages to elevate the listeners’ level of immersion thanks to his ability to pronounce Russian words in a way that feels natural.
The audio production is good and the quality is more than satisfying. I also appreciate the involvement of the author with the recorded introduction, because, as an audiobook enthusiast, it’s nice to hear the actual people behind the written text talking about their work and connecting with us as listeners.
Steve is a remarkable individual and this is a thought-provoking true story that recounts a dramatic and courageous adventure from his fascinating life. I realize that right now Russia is definitely not a favorite topic for a lot of us, but I highly recommend this audiobook because it shows how unpredictable and oppressive the state acted even 30 years ago.
This is a well-written non-fiction account that reads like a thriller, so enthusiasts of aviation and wannabe entrepreneurs could learn some interesting lessons from it.
