Reviews

"Malcolm Hillgartner's bass pitch and stately American tone sound like the mid-twentieth century, and this is a very mid-twentieth-century story. In late 1945, immediately after engineering the Allied victories in WWII, Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall was directed by President Harry S. Truman to lead a special mission to China to negotiate a coalition government between the Nationalist Army, led by Chiang Kai-shek, and the Communists, led by Mao Zedong. It was supposed to be a short, uncomplicated task, but as months of mediation failed and civil war loomed, the listener can hear in Hillgartner's voice that the United States was headed for a major diplomatic setback and the first stages of the Cold War."— B.P. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]

"The title of this taut audiobook refers to a small wing of the Pakistani Intelligence Service, the I.S.I., whose job it was to train and arm Taliban fighters to expand Pakistan's influence in Afghanistan after 9/11. The work of this directorate had a direct and negative effect on the United States' ability to successfully prosecute a war that continues to this day. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner delivers this audiobook in a deep authoritative voice that captures its mood and purpose...Hillgartner also mixes in some light character voices and superb pronunciations of Afghan and Pakistani names and places."— R.I.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2018]

"Malcolm Hillgartner's narration is an excellent match to this audiobook. Unger offers an intriguing study of the young Pablo Picasso and his journey to become the iconic cubist painter. Unger focuses on Picasso's 1907 work "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," arguably his first cubist piece, which radically altered the art world. This study of Picasso also offers an introspective look at his history and psyche, creating an interesting picture of the man behind the artist. Hillgartner's deep, crisp voice complements the historical information, and his measured pace helps keep the listener focused. He admirably tackles both French and Spanish pronunciations, which occur frequently, and adds passion to Picasso's quotes. Hillgartner's skillful narration helps Unger's work shine."–D.M.W. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]

“The story of Robert de La Rochefoucald, a French aristocrat turned anti-Nazi saboteur during WWII, reads like a novel--and that's exactly the way Malcolm Hillgartner narrates it. He adds no false drama. The story is compelling by itself. His steady pace keeps listeners engaged, but he varies it ever so slightly at times for variety and impact. His facility with French names and places also keeps the reading flowing. His somewhat somber voice adds exactly the right atmosphere to this story, in which one wrong step by the Frenchman can mean death. Hillgartner also narrated WHEN PARIS WENT DARK--about the Nazi occupation of the city. This latest audiobook offers a nice complement."— R.C.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2017]

"Mauro Larrea's bad luck finally turns when he wins property in Spain during a game of cards in Mexico. And so begins an international family epic that takes listeners from Mexico to Spain and on to Cuba. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner's baritone fills the listener's ears with a vibrant narration style that brings to life the nineteenth-century Spanish-speaking world. His husky voice is a vivid vehicle to carry this mostly masculine story of men trying to survive in the mining industry. Fans of historical fiction will appreciate the attention to detail and Hillgartner's painstaking efforts to capture the drama that plays out between the large cast of characters. His familiarity with Spanish brings an authentic pronunciation to words interspersed throughout the story." —M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2018]

"Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner manages to combine gravitas with avuncular warmth in Gelb's historical overview of the events in WWII that led to the amazing rescue of the British Expeditionary Force from the coast of France. The BEF was surrounded on all sides by Germans, unable to move forward, their backs to the sea at Dunkirk. Hillgartner builds tension as the perilous events unfold, growing meticulous and precise when recounting Winston Churchill's machinations. Churchill summons enough sea and air support to rescue the trapped men. The rescue, called Operation Dynamo, evacuated approximately 225,000 British and another 140,000 French troops over a period of 10 days, navigating the unpredictable waters of the English Channel and the ever-present danger of the Germans. Hillgartner does masterful work, making the rescues at Dunkirk not only credible, but also breathtaking." —S.J.H. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published:

"The story of John Franklin's doomed expedition to discover the Northwest Passage in 1845 and the dozens of unsuccessful searches mounted to learn the fate of the 130 men who accompanied him is not a new topic, but it's still a sensational one--full of starvation, cannibalism, botulism, clairvoyants, and Arctic cold. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner has a rich voice and a keen ability to evoke an atmosphere of endless winter, deprivation, and mystery. He also rolls through the Inuit names and places without hesitation as we learn that Inuit stories that had been ignored and dismissed for decades were key to locating the HMS EREBUS in 2014 and the HMS TERROR in 2016. Paul Watson is also sympathetic to Franklin's wife Jane's famous intensity and grit, and Hillgartner faithfully renders her unusual viewpoint."— A.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2017]

In the year 2021, a brother and sister make a cross-country pilgrimage to the Badlands of South Dakota, where the Twin Towers have suddenly reappeared—and Elvis Presley's stillborn twin brother has inexplicably reawakened.

"Malcolm Hillgartner's narration is reminiscent of classic "Twilight Zone" voice-overs. This audiobook mostly defies summary, save for a few key starting points. Two decades after 9/11, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center suddenly reappear in the Dakota Badlands. On the 93rd floor of one of the towers, Jesse Presley, the stillborn twin of Elvis, blinks into existence, unsure of exactly who is he is or where he came from. In California, siblings Parker and Zema begin a road trip to Michigan, with a detour to visit the towers. The story's structure (or lack thereof) initially may be jarring, but Hillgartner is a stabilizing presence. His commanding delivery makes the impossible seem plausible, and guides listeners through a surreal journey. " — A.T.N. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

"TO PROTECT AND SERVE ... delivers a revolutionary new model for American law enforcement: the community-based police department. It calls for citizen participation in all aspects of police operations: policymaking, program development, crime fighting and service delivery, entry-level and ongoing education and training, oversight of police conduct, and, especially relevant to today’s challenges, joint community-police crisis management. Nothing will ever change until the system itself is radically restructured, and here Norm Stamper shows how. The great thing about this informative audiobook is the narrator, Malcolm Hillgartner. An accomplished actor and dramatist, he has the kind of voice one can never tire of hearing. Trying to describe it is like describing a wine. Earthy, tannic, but with hints of citrus and jasmine, and a smooth finish." — Jonathan Lowe's Audiobook Reviews, JULY 2016

"Over the first half of the twentieth century, the daredevils who tried to ride the falls at Niagara to glory were abundant. The Hill family was on hand, sometimes grimly fishing bodies from the water, throughout that era. Michael Clarkson begins this story in 1951, describing the scene as William "Red" Hill, Jr., prepares for a barrel run. Clarkson then shifts back to 1901 as Annie Edson Taylor prepares for what would be the first successful attempt to go over the falls in a barrel. Malcolm Hillgartner's narration builds tension well, making listeners feel as if they're a part of each daring stunt, maintaining excitement throughout. Even most of the successes have unhappy tinges, but this is a fascinating slice of American history." —J.A.S. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

"Malcolm Hillgartner is the perfect narrator for this magnificent display of White's restrained literary style. Some of the essays are true gems. They have also become a marvelous tour through the life of a Maine resident and NEW YORKER writer in the middle decades of the twentieth century with concern for nuclear war, trains, summer houses, changes in New York City, ocean travel, and the passage of time. Hillgartner's smooth, cultured baritone and practiced delivery allow us to yearn unselfconsciously for the past. He seems as at home with White's homage to WALDEN as he is with White's heartfelt farewell to the Ford Model T. He conveys embarrassment in recounting White's boyish adventures and earnestness in imparting the wisdom of age. Great listening."— F.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

"Narrating this elegant writer's words is unalloyed pleasure. Enough said. I have not had so much fun in a studio in ages." —MH

"Imagine narrator Malcolm Hillgartner sitting by a fire, pipe in hand and dogs at his feet, addressing a "gentle reader." There's a quaintness to this audio collection from the late E.B. White, now better known for CHARLOTTE'S WEB and STUART LITTLE than for the HARPER'S essays from which ONE MAN'S MEAT derives. But don't let this description of a measured reading of essays set in late 1930s-early 1940s pastoral Maine lull you into thinking there's nothing here to interest today's listener. If anything, you'll be struck repeatedly by parallels to the present. Hillgartner chose wisely: A fast-paced, contemporized narration would have undermined the writing. ONE MAN'S MEAT is an authentically preserved time capsule, packed with lessons for those who learn from history." — K.W. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2016]

"E.B. White's voice is so deadpan on the page that it is nearly impossible to translate into spoken word. And White cared; he reports here that he disliked a recording of CHARLOTTE'S WEB done by wonderful Julie Harris and insisted on rerecording it in "my own monotone." White's own monotone being no longer an option, Malcolm Hillgartner does his level best to render White's quiet drollery without overplaying or spoiling the jokes, and his best is splendid. It's a marvelous organizing principle for a sampler of White's wit and wisdom, to collect his thoughts on dogs he has owned, and others he has known. Martha White profoundly understands her grandfather's style and evergreen charm, and fans of White and of dogs will be delighted."— B.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2016]

"This brief time capsule depicting White's impressions of New York in 1949 comes encased in a second time capsule, Angell's personal introduction, written in 1999. Malcolm Hillgartner is a seasoned performer and narrator. His rich voice captures the quality of reminiscence that infuses both White's and Angell's words. Hillgartner seems as familiar with the New York neighborhoods (present and past) as the authors. His pace is perfect. White remembers the speakeasies and coal sellers of New York in the 1920s and '30s. Angell remembers his time with White, who was his stepfather. Although we associate both writers with THE NEW YORKER, White's text first appeared in HOLIDAY magazine, when Angell was an editor there." — F.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2016]

"What if the most important defense the United States can construct is not a physical wall or actual weapons but a bank of computers that can absorb, and attack, another entity's banks, government, and/or missile installations? That's the main idea in this intriguing audiobook. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner has the kind of deep, ominous voice this audiobook demands. In this new world of potential cyber war, hackers, programmers, and computer viruses will determine who wins and who loses. Hillgartner varies his voice enough to keep the book moving, delivering this exhaustive report as a spy novel whose plot is still developing. It's a warning--and Hillgartner makes sure we get the message."— R.I.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2016]

"Kunetka's audiobook provides the listener a concise and clear history of the events that led to the creation of the first atomic bomb, and a portrait of the two disparate personalities that led its development. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner's timbre, intonation, and clarity suggest those of a radio announcer from the early twentieth-century period in which these events take place. Authoritarian General Leslie Richard Groves and physicist Robert Oppenheimer represent two seemingly incongruent approaches to the goal of building the vital weapon before the Nazis. Hillgartner's delivery is confident and direct as General Groves advocates a no-nonsense military approach, and Professor Oppenheimer focuses on the minute scientific details." — S.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2016]

"In a gravelly voice, Malcolm Hillgartner narrates this dense biography of one of the nation's most influential strategic thinkers of the twentieth century, Henry Kissinger. Reading effortlessly, Hillgartner engages with the complex history and politics that made up the life and times of Kissinger before his appointment as Richard Nixon's national security adviser. Hillgartner shifts intonation for quotes and clearly identifies footnotes--drawn from primary sources, archives, and a multitude of published sources--without breaking his narration. His stentorian voice is perfect for this biography of an uncommonly strong personality. Using subtle shifts in pacing, Hillgartner draws the listener into the ever-increasing political tensions at home, particularly during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Listeners will be fascinated."— M.B.K. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2016]

"In a spirited narration, Malcolm Hillgartner presents fascinating portraits of the four individuals who snatched victory from initial defeat in WWII: FDR; Henry Stimson, Secretary of War; General George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff; and Admiral Ernest J. King, Chief of Naval Operations. The author's narrative is lively in describing the characters of these four men, warts and all. The audiobook focuses on the decisions they made and the actions they took that put the U.S. on a war footing quickly and that led to the Allies triumphing over both Germany and Japan. Hillgartner's resonant baritone is expressive. Though he moves at a quick clip, he is still easy to follow. He delivers narrative sections in a consistent voice and gives each quotation an appropriate imitation of the speaker."—M.T.F. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2015]

Like any subject worthy of a biography, Ty Cobb was a complex soul whose life deserves the long, hard look afforded by the author. Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner carries the story well, bringing an even-keeled scrutiny to the multilayered Cobb, a Georgia native whom Hillgartner endows with a subtle Southern accent. Leerhsen delves into the life of the greatest player who ever graced a baseball diamond with as little bias as possible. He spends a good amount of time attacking previous biographical research on Cobb, sections where the author's anger is reflected in the narrator's incredulous tones. This should be considered the definitive look at Cobb."—M.B. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2015

"The main interests of this history of two political families are served by narrator Malcolm Hillgartner's giving each major player his own voice. In the case of the easily recognizable--Winston Churchill, FDR, JFK, and RFK--he provides rough but serviceable imitations that enliven the reading and aid listener comprehension. He lends excitement to the material without overdoing it and maintains his vigor as the book devolves through repetition, spotty writing, and lack of depth to the principals' sad ends. Still, his persistent energy helps keep the listener focused, and his strong voice and serious manner make the book's main material--gossip--seem more substantial. Overall, Hillgartner's narration renders this work more enjoyable than it might otherwise be."—W.M. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2015]

"A murder, a missing artifact, a long winter, and a female cop are a few of the many details that keep the listener engaged in this crime novel set in Norway. The disappearance of a Sami drum, a holy relic of the indigenous people of Norway, and the appearance of a body set the story in motion. Malcolm Hillgartner manages the tension between the various characters, particularly between the male and female cops, Klemet Nango and Nina Nansen. His characterization of their differences is achieved through pitch and pace. The story and Hillgartner's narration are examples of the best that the genre of the Scandinavian procedural has to offer."

"Malcolm Hillgartner's rich, expressive baritone is an ideal match for this well-written and thoroughly researched biography of Bob Hope. Steady and conversational, Hillgartner's phrasing and pace are nothing short of remarkable. Hope was an entertainment superstar in every medium, and his shrewd strategies and skillful business successes are thoroughly examined in a close look at his entire life. The work balances Hope's personal and career strengths and weaknesses with high style. The narrator's voice essentially disappears as the fascinating treasure trove of show business remembrances and anecdotes weaves the entire illuminating story. A real treat." — W.A.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2014]

"Malcolm Hillgartner's deep, rich voice adds life to Dvorak's stories, which string together an engaging series of science and history anecdotes that focus on the San Andreas Fault. Hillgartner knows his California place names and conveys the thrill of discovery that provides the dynamic for most of the narrative. His delivery is lively without being overdramatic. The San Andreas Fault is a good lens for learning about the development of earth science." — F.C. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
"Every now and then a book comes around that just flies off the page for you in the studio. This is one of them, unlikely as that may seem at first glance. Dvorak is not kidding when he subtitles his work a "fascinating history." It is, peopled with unforgettable characters like Alice Eastwood (who climbed Mt. Shasta in a dress and descended by sliding several thousand feet down the glacial ice until she reached firmer ground), John Muir, and many others." — M. H.

EDITOR'S PICK—SoundCommentary.com, November 2014
"Narrator Malcolm Hillgartner's outstanding reading is measured, exacting, and respectful of the complicated issues. His French and German are perfect. When Paris Went Dark is deservedly on the list of nominations for The National Book Award. Highly recommended, eye-opening history." — Jean Palmer, SoundCommentary.com

"Rosbottom's revealing study of Paris under German occupation endeavors to capture the feeling of those strange and horrifying 1,500 days. He uses an impressive range of literary, journalistic, and eyewitness sources to offer different points of view. Malcolm Hilgartner's clear, somber voice suits the tragic, complex subject. His command of both German and French allows him to effectively convey French slang and the Teutonic word choices of the Nazi regime. He presents both the horror of the occupation and its few light moments without being overdramatic. This is not a traditional chronological history. Rosbottom's inquiry moves back and forth across time in his quest to capture the essence of the City of Lights at a dark time." — F.C. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2014]

"Clarke's examination of John F. Kennedy focuses on the fall of 1963, making the point that after almost three years in the White House, JFK was finally hitting his stride as president. Malcolm Hillgartner narrates the book and also serves as cheerleader-in-chief. He does a great job. His voice has the authoritative, assured presence necessary for a story that presents Kennedy as a man, a leader, and a tragic figure. Hillgartner's deep tone and sure pacing grab our attention from the opening music. The book is an exercise in hero worship and lamentations of what might have been, and Hillgartner channels that message, making this an impressive listening experience." — R.I.G. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2013]

"Acclaimed history professor Nasaw provides a well-researched and absorbing biography of the pessimistic Kennedy. The subject's varied roles as a financial speculator, real estate tycoon, U.S. ambassador, and movie studio owner are explored in great detail. Malcolm Hillgartner's understated narration is spot-on for the task. His tone conveys authority, and his proper emphasis and pacing keep the listener engaged. Involved with virtually all of the significant worldwide events of his time, Kennedy tirelessly pursued many roles, including SEC chairmanship. Nasaw had the benefit of complete access to the family's personal papers. Ambitious, unbridled, and relentless, this father of a U.S. president is presented in a sweeping and comprehensive work." — W.A.G. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2013]
