Get ready for audiobook three, League of Auld, coming in January 2023, by listening to the Audible best seller, Alexander X (#1 overall).

Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class 17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way.

So for the last several decades, Alexander has been forced to move from town to small town to even smaller town—he just bought his 651st house—in an effort to live a painfully quiet life. But when a mysterious cabal attempts to kidnap him and kill his friends, Alexander must use all his skills and centuries of training to outwit the most dangerous man alive, the mastermind of a plot that would change the world forever.

Clever, intriguing, skillfully woven with humor, Alexander X launches us on an epic journey toward a future few of us will survive, rising from a past we never knew existed.

Overall, this was a good story. The plot is decent, the characters are like-able, and the history is well-researched.

For the most part, the story was very well written. I lived in Boston for a while for school and the author’s vivid descriptions of the city and even the subway brought back old memories of when I was there. I have never even watched a lacrosse game, but I was captivated by his intense description of the gameplay.

The reason I’m removing one star for the story is that the author tries to sell too much of his lesser-known history tidbits as the narrator’s first-hand knowledge—with no good reason to back it up. Suspension of disbelief is almost impossible when the narrator claims to have been not only present at so many different major historical events (all across the globe), but to have actually taken an active role in many of them. This is all glossing over the notion that he supposedly did all this while inhabiting the body of a child in his early teen years.

The author uses absolutely no mechanism or excuse by which to explain why he was present for these historical events. He simply says it was so. It’s kind of like the historical fiction version of a compulsive liar trying to name-drop celebrity connections. Okay, you knew Ben Franklin...why? Tell us that your father’s connections put you there. Tell us anything. There’s no magic, there’s no time machine, and you had no ability to see into the future. Why were you always at the right place at the right time with the right people...when you outwardly appeared to be 12 years old?

The worst part is that I enjoyed the history—I just didn’t care for the delivery. Had the author claimed to be a history buff (or even an avid reader of the news) and merely recounted the stories from a non-insider perspective in addition to having attended maybe half of the claimed events, the story would’ve been much better.

I had no idea what I was getting into but having Mr. Wheaton as the very talented narrator, I was all in! I loved the entire story and hated having to ever take a break. I can’t wait to hear the rest of what Mr. Savio has in store for Alexander!

You had me at Will!

A refreshing new plot and take on history. Will Wheaton does an excellent job! He reminds me of Ray Porter and that is high praise!
