Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 70
In a vivid depiction of Ancient Greece and its legendary heroes, The Mask of Apollo tells the story of Nikeratos, the gifted tragic actor at the centre of political and cultural activity in Athens, 400 B. C. Wherever he goes, Nikeratos carries a golden mask of Apollo, a relic and reminder of an age when the theatre was at the height of its greatness and talent. Only a mascot at first, the mask gradually turns into Nikeratos' conscience as he encounters famous thinkers, actors, and philosophers, including the famous Plato himself.

Excellent book full of history and heart. The reader is skilled and creative. Though complex, it works well as an audio book.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 24
Key West, 2016. Sea levels are rising, coral reefs are dying. In short, everything is going to hell. It's here that two young filmmakers find something to believe in: an old sailor who calls himself Daniel Defoe and claims to be 560 years old. In fact, old Dan is in the prime of his life - an incredible, perhaps eternal American life. The story unfolds over the course of a millennium, picking up in the 16th century in the Viceroyalty of New Granada and continuing into the 26th. Some things remain constant throughout the centuries, and being on the edge of ruin may be one.

Absolutely Brilliant, Hilarious, and Profound.

Would you consider the audio edition of Mr. Eternity to be better than the print version?
This is one of the most delightful, moving, weird, funny novels I have read in a long time. It has five different narrators and it spans 1,000 year from 1500 to 2500. So many important themes come up--justice, slavery, addiction, climate, and love. Truly original and wonderfully bizarre. I laughed out loud and got teary multiple times. The insights are profound and it is hilarious. This audiobook version is especially good. The actors captures the strangeness and the beauty of it.
What about Coleen Marlo and David Marantz ’s performance did you like?
Expressive and hilarious.
