I have most of his books, both in ebook and audio. I love them. He really is the perfect narrator for his own books. I love the way he weaves his personal experiences into many of his books. The first book I ever read by him was Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883. That's an excellent read as well.
