About this listen
Fourteen outstanding authors. Fourteen worlds that never were.
Throughout the human experience, historians have wondered, “What if?” What if Japan had been on the side of the U.S. in World War II? What if things had been just a little different in the Falklands? What if Russia had started World War Three?
Wonder no more, for these questions, along with many others, are answered within the chapters of this book. Told by a variety of award-winning authors, like Sarah Hoyt, the 2018 Dragon Award Winner for Alternate History, and Kacey Ezell, the winner of the 2018 Baen Reader’s Choice Award, Those in Peril, deals with naval warfare that never happened in our world...but easily could have.
The first book in the exciting new Phases of Mars anthology series, there is something for everyone inside! From sailing ships, to steam, to today’s modern aircraft carriers, Those in Peril traces several centuries of naval warfare...that wasn’t. From adding a psychic...to making a different choice of friend or foe...to something insignificant toppling a kingdom, this book has it, so come aboard and find out “what if” all of these things had changed history...just a little. You’ll be glad you did!

Fun on the high seas
There is nothing more fun than what could have been or what could have happened the tales in book do this rather well from battles with pirates to the UK and the USA frighting each other on the high seas.
I really enjoyed theses stories I wish they had been longer a great way to spend a few hours.

Mediocre stories, embarrassing narrator
The stories were mediocre and largely uninteresting deviations. The narration was terrible, stumbled over words, does not know how to pronounce Trafalgar, gosh and the accents made me cringe

good stories, but the narrator
Dick Van Dyke proved over 50 years ago in Mary Poppins that Americans should stay away from what we perceive the accents of other nationalities to be. The distraction was just too much so I stopped listening at the 9 hr point.

so disappointing.
The first problem with this book is the narrator, a American trying numerous British accents so terribly that he is almost unintelligible, thís is not a joke or over estimation, he is utterly beyond understanding.
The second problem is the stories, the anthologies about air and land were generally well balanced with some bias towards the exceptionalism of American arms over all others, in this collection, there is what can anly be called a anti british bias, superb unbeatable americans against dullard cowardly foreigners.
Third, and this is a minor but irritating point tied to the first, learn to pronounce names of places.
when describing a location that is geographically important to a story, make it so that name is a actual word and not some made up collection of vowels and sounds, scalpa, isle, Portsmouth, Thames ( fames apparently) if its your job to use words, and there are words you dont know conclusively to pronounce, look them up.
