Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This incredibly atmospheric spy-thriller is read wonderfully by Vance. Cumming's debut-part fiction and part memoir-is beautifully realized by Vance, whose rich British accent seems perfectly suited for this appealing tale. With a variety of pitch-perfect dialects and accents, Vance brings a stark realism to the many mysterious characters that protagonist Alec Milius comes across in this sprawling account. Entrenched in the story, Vance captures Milius's hesitation and excitement upon being accepted in the secretive MI6 unit. There is something innately believable about Vance's Milius as well as just about every other character that pops up in this taut performance. Vance captures his audience's attention in a virtuoso one-man show that has all the power and variety of a big-budget theater production. He makes this intense story a memorable experience. Simultaneous release with the St. Martin's hardcover (Reviews, May 14).

From AudioFile

Simon Vance excels with this thriller about double-crossing British and American spy agencies. The plot is twisted, and one is never quite certain who is good or bad, who works for the agencies and who doesnÕt. We know that the main character was kicked out of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS)--and promptly rehired. Things only get murkier. VanceÕs deft pacing and characterizations help keep the listener from getting hopelessly lost, while also increasing the suspense. Vance offers believable renditions of American and British speech, including accents and rhythms, although he is occasionally careless with womenÕs voices. Overall, a suspenseful story--suspensefully told. R.E.K. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
