Prompt shipment, with tracking. we ship in CLEAN SECURE BOXES NEW BOXES Alternate HistoryAtlantis lies between Europe and the East Coast of Terranova. For many years, this land of opportunity lured dreamers from around the globe with its natural resources, offering a new beginning for those willing to brave the wonders of the unexplored territory.It is a new world indeed: ripe for discovery, for plunder, and eventually for colonization-but will its settlers destroy the very wonders they had journeyed to Atlantis to find?Editorial Reviews"Todd McLaren reads with a deep, commanding voice that keeps listeners' attention, deftly handles a variety of accents, and gives the story the broad sweep it needs." ---AudioFile - From the PublisherIn the fifteenth century, a Breton tells English fisherman Edward Radcliffe about the uncharted land of Atlantis. Radcliffe decides to gather colonists to build a new life there. Harry Turtledove tells the story of three generations of Radcliffes as they settle the mythical continent and deal with wildlife, rival countries' settlers, and the wake of war at home. Todd McLaren reads with a deep, commanding voice that keeps listeners' attention, deftly handles a variety of accents, and gives the story the broad sweep it needs. Despite science fiction trappings, including strange animals and, of course, the nonexistent land itself, this novel plays out like a historical epic that also makes sharp observations about colonialism and expansion.
