I learn a lot from Dr Mark Felton's reseach.
More history brought to life, and made accessible to the general public, well narrated as always, thank you.

Fascinating story told very well
Absolutely loved it. The way he told the tale enabled me to envision it in my mind as he went along. Thoroughly researched, and very well executed.

TALKS TOO FAST AND ROBOTIC
I never got past the first chapter of this book as the rate the narrator went at would send you into a panic. Very disappointing
