Publisher Description
Frederick Radcliff is a descendant of the family that founded Atlantis's first settlement, and his grandfather Victor led the army against England to win the nation's independence. But he is also a black slave, unable to prove his lineage, and forced to labor on a cotton plantation in the southern region of the country.
Frederick feels the color of his skin shouldn't keep him from having the same freedoms his ancestors fought and died for. So he becomes the leader of a revolutionary army of slaves determined to free all of his brethren across Atlantis.

"Continuing the Atlantis saga - - we have a full blown slave revolt with a hint of Spartacus and don't forget Hannibal's battle plan - while the ending is a little too neat for me, Turtledove did leave open lots of questions. Really liked the character development."
— Jack (4 out of 5 stars)
Liberating Atlantis Listener Reviews
-
" The third in Turtledove's Atlantis series. This novel explores race, and freedom using a slave rebellion as a backdrop. Slow in places, but well worth reading "
— Rob, 12/31/2013 -
" It's by Turtledove, what more do I need to say? Fantastic insight in to people as always. "
— Dan, 8/3/2013 -
" Outstanding view of our own nations history. "
— Gary, 7/5/2013 -
" Turtledove is getting kind of boring, actually. How many different ways can he rehash the various wars of our history? I would be interested in reading more about Atlantis if it were more than simply a stand-in for colonial America. "
— Joe, 5/20/2013 -
" Time wasting alternative history nonsense. Yet I keep reading them. "
— Russ, 11/6/2012 -
" A good story about people fighting for their freedom. "
— Clay, 10/23/2012 -
" Rather good continuation of Atlantis series. A little slow at times, but still an enjoyable read. "
— Maksim, 4/21/2012 -
" Plodding, repetitive, points are sledgehammered home. Clumsy and trite. Interesting idea for a book /series, badly executed. "
— redbees, 2/19/2012 -
" A good read, starting off strong and finishing well. One of the better books in this this good series... "
— Greg, 1/23/2012 -
" Continuing Turtledove's exploration of Atlantis, this time the slave question. "
— Ron, 10/30/2011 -
" One of Turtledove's silliest books. The series (now at #3) has become a total mess. In this one, we are supposed to imagine that an ad hoc servile insurrection changes entire folkways after one battle. What is worse is the endless talking by uninteresting characters. I hope he end this series. "
— David, 8/20/2011 -
" This was the third book of the trilogy. I liked the prior two a lot more. This book was an OK read but not great. Far from his best. Hence only 3 stars out of 5 from me. "
— Kelvin, 7/18/2011 -
" excellent book. Gives a view of the terror the slaves were kept in to keep them under control and the terror the masters had of the revolt. "
— Patricrk, 5/29/2011 -
" I didn't like it. Writing style is lifeless, characters are stock, story is like reading a boiler plate history. Waste of my time. If you know nothing of how people immigrate to a new unexplored land, it will give you a bland pasty taste. Robinson Crusoe is far superior. "
— April, 5/7/2011 -
" Don't want to spoil anything so I will just suffice it to say that I didn't finish this book (although I did read most of it since I brought on a trip where I didn't have other choices) and I will not be continuing with the series. "
— JoLene, 4/24/2011 -
" I couldn't work up the interest to finish it. I didnt hate it, just got too bored "
— Maggie, 3/27/2011 -
" I needed a bit more of a "grab". I wanted to really like this book, but the characters seemed very 1-D, and the storyline is very slow. "
— Danielle, 2/28/2011 -
" First part was great, then he lost me as he changed generations. "
— Mike, 12/15/2010 -
" Didn't finish. Was slow and boring <br/> "
— Tisha, 9/27/2010 -
" BORING!!! I like alternate historical timeline books, but I could not get through this one. I only made it through half of the book. I was bored out of my mind. I can't imagine trying to listen to or read the whole series. "
