Griff Hosker has done it again with Desert War—a richly detailed and action-packed novel set in the turbulent 1890s, during the British military campaigns in North Africa. Hosker masterfully captures the tension, danger, and complexity of desert warfare, blending historical accuracy with gripping storytelling. His characters are well-developed, the pacing never falters, and the harsh beauty of the desert landscape comes through in every chapter.

What truly elevates this audiobook is Marston York’s outstanding narration. His voice perfectly suits the tone of the era, delivering every line with clarity, authority, and just the right amount of grit. York effortlessly brings each character to life, distinguishing voices without ever distracting from the narrative. His performance adds depth and authenticity, making this an immersive listening experience from start to finish.
