How does an interactive audiobook work?
This audiobook version of YOU ARE ODYSSEUS will follow the main Odyssey storyline featured in the book, narrated by the author against an immersive soundscape of monsters, gods, and exciting locations. Each time Odysseus has a choice to make, you will hear the opportunities available, have a moment to think what you would do, and then be whisked back to the story and Odysseus’ original decision. Will you empathise with the choices he makes, or will you be shocked at the outcomes he chases? Either way, you will understand Homer’s eponymous character better.
YOU ARE ODYSSEUS, with every alternative choice leading to a slightly different - or entirely different - adventure, is available in paperback and ebook now!
