The Russian Who Saved the World: A Novel of the Cuban Missile Crisis by career respected military-man turned talented author Steven E. Maffeo is a gripping and captivating story that explores the events during the month of October 1962.

Following the heroic actions of a Russian submarine officer who is involved in those dangerous operations, The Russian Who Saved the World explores what could have happened if history took a different turn.

Audiobook narrator and producer Jason Markiewitz is the one who has recorded this superb story in audiobook format. He reads expertly and enthusiastically, he infuses the action with urgency and authenticity by assigning each of the main characters different voices and natural accents.

This is not my first contact with Jason‘s work and I always like the way he brings these performances to life. Jason is an excellent voiceover artist and I can see a bright future in front of him, especially because it is very clear that a lot of time, research, and patience has been put into the way he pronounces the Russian words for this novel. The audio production is very good as well.

Written with care, filled with believable characters, a lot of details about the submariners’ life in the deep which could only come through painstaking research and driven by a fascinating plot, The Russian Who Saved the World is immersive, intriguing, and extremely entertaining.

If you are a fan of the Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy, you will surely love this adventure set under the turbulent seas, in a time when a third World War could have started with just a push of a button.
