From Publishers Weekly

Even in his lesser efforts, like this start of a trilogy about the Lost Continent of Atlantis, Turtledove is still the master of alternative history. Helped by the cool understatement of Todd McLaren, who makes all the "What ifs?" of the genre fresh and believable, listeners should plunge right into this predictable but intriguing story of the discovery of an unknown island during the reign of Henry VI by a wandering English fisherman. Fed up with political repression, the fisherman, his family and a few friends head for the promised paradise-only to find themselves pitted against an exiled nobleman who wants to rule the island. McLaren makes all the voices distinct and identifiable, from lowly Brits and smarmy lords to the foreigners flocking to Atlantis. There's not much magic or even the startling hooks on which Turtledove has hung earlier books (like the sudden arrival of repeating rifles during the American Civil War in Guns of the South), but Turtledove fans will appreciate McLaren's efforts. Simultaneous release with the Roc hardcover (Reviews, Oct. 1).

From AudioFile

In 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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Engaging, interesting - when's the next one coming?, Fév 15 2008

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Opening Atlantis (Hardcover)
Another fine concept of alternate history from the master. Imagining a real continent of Atlantis in the Atlantic ocean brings an earlier "discovery" of North America by Europeans. The story is divided into 3 smaller stories centering around events of certain time periods: discovery of the continent, settlement and piracy, and maturing of the colonies. This takes us up to approximately 250 years in the past leaving lots of time for more stories about Atlantis and its people so I'm hoping this really is the first of a new trilogy.

The plot and characters are well developed and engaging. This is a book that you can immerse yourself in and suddenly look up and find you've read 50 pages and lost a couple hours. By centering on short time periods and building the stories around that, there is more of a richness to the whole thing. This is a different approach from Turtledove's Civil War-Great War-WW II series and works just as well.

My only beef is the cover picture shows a map of the Atlantic and it appears Atlantis is actually the part of North America east of the Appalachians and the Great Lakes. Apparently, the "twist" in history is that this piece/plate didn't join North America and there are lots of hints about this in the book especially as characters wonder why Atlantis is so much different than Terranova and Europe. Hopefully further stories in the next volumes will as the centuries advance and science comes into play come up with a good explanation. My beef though is it would be nice to have a map at the front of each section showing Atlantis and the geographic and political divisions along with the settlements in order to complete a picture of the whole continent and where the action takes place.

All in all, a worthwhile and interesting premise and a great read. Highly recommended! And keep 'em coming Harry.
