An unforgettable series narrated by a master storyteller

Revisado: 04-02-24

After a fantastic surprise realising I was listening to a fellow Australian doing the narration, and then discovering said narrator was an absolute expert orator capable not only of perfect inflection but individual character voices in a wholly satisfying portrayal, I was quickly hooked.

Soon into the first book, I found myself deeply invested in what was a perfect blend of story and wonderful character development - enjoying every moment of dialog and world building - all wrapped up in the the brilliant narration.

It’s been a long time since I’ve found myself laughing, worrying and becoming angered - so deeply invested in the story - as in this fantastic series.

I’ve binged all three - and haven’t regretted a second. Looking now toward others by Birmingham , and also checking out where else I can find narration by the wonderful Rupert Degas.

Regrets, Apologies and Self Flagellation… (repeat)

Over, and over and over again… (refer headline).

I love Wil Wheaton’s narration on every title I’ve listened to for which he is narrator, and it’s no different here - his oratory is wonderful.

Oh but the material…

I made it around 10hours, trying sooo hard to will myself another hour, until I just couldn’t take any loops…

Returned.

Great narration ... but the book.... Ugh

Revisado: 11-29-20

Wheaton does everything humanly possible to breathe life into this shadow of the original.... there just isn't anything to keep me hooked after the ~2.5hrs I've spent on it ... this one is going back.

A heartwarming, humble and ensipiring recollection

Revisado: 11-18-19

In Against All Odds, Craig Challen and Richard Harris pen a wonderful first hand account of the reality of the events surrounding the rescue of the Thai soccer team and their coach from the Tham Luang Cave system in Chang Rai.

In an eloquently penned first hand account, and with excellent narration provided by Christopher Stollery and Simon Harvey, you’re in for a treat. Complete with Australian colloquialisms, and an honest and up-front expression that exposes it's Australian influences - this book will be especially enjoyable to Australians such as myself, will equally so to those all around the world.

I smiled, laughed, even teared up at times - marveling at the humble perseverance, tenacity and ingenuity of these men.

Throughout, both overtly and in the subtle focus of the authors on the events in Thailand, is the recognition that this was a massive team effort. Both authors are - to their absolute credit, and exemplifying their selfless personalities - careful to highlight the actions of the other rescuers, support staff and others who were so essential to the success of this operation.

For anyone who showed and interest in the happenings during the event, to those who are interested in triumph over adversity - anyone wondering what true altruism is, despite potential consequence to self - this is an absolute must read.
