ACT OF OBLIVION

Tim McInnerny narrates this remarkable historical novel with solid credibility. He chronicles the extraordinary-but-true manhunt for two signatories of the death warrant for King Charles I. In an English accent, he describes the dangerous journey of the regicides, Edward Whalley and his son-in-law, Will Goffe. This is an exciting story, as well as one that is largely accurate. McInnerny makes the duo's tribulations, religiosity, and longing for home and family very real and comprehensible. This is a thrilling look at a time, place, and people caught up in political intrigue in the wilderness of colonial New England. McInnerny's vocal prowess and excellent characterizations make this a top-notch listening experience. D.L.G.
