    About this audiobook

    A famous naturalist seeks a near-extinct species of bird found only on the rarest of lands in "Audubon in Atlantis." A young American on a European holiday finds himself storming an enchanted German castle in "The Catcher in the Rhine." The philosopher Sokrates plays a key role in the Athenian victory over the Spartans in "The Daimon." Centaurs take a sea voyage aboard "The Horse of Bronze" to a land where they encounter a strange and frightening tribe of creatures known as man. London's most famous detective, Athelstan Helms, and his assistant, Dr. James Walton, are in Atlantis investigating a series of murders in "The Scarlet Band."

    Atlantis and Other Places includes these and seven more amazing stories of ancient eras, historical figures, mysterious events, and out-of-this-world adventure from the incomparable Harry Turtledove.

      A darn good collection of Turtledove's alt history stories, covering a wide swath of time from early history with centaurs to quirky sci-fi with aliens stealing thrones. The book begins and ends with longer works in the setting of Atlantis in the 19th century. What I enjoyed most about these stories is how he built the worlds. These really aren't action-heavy works; most tend to be intriguing slow burns, which suited my mood perfectly.
    • 1/5
      Garbage. Can anyone tell a story anymore without being politically motivated and having an agenda? Really kind of off putting. Shame because I liked his Conan story.
    • 3/5
      A mixed bag of short stories, some with very interesting concept, some others not so good, especially the Atlantis ones.
    • 2/5
      Even really good authors have dull books.
