THE FIRST HORSEMAN

THE FIRST HORSEMAN is about our current terrorist nightmare, the unleashing of an unstoppable disease, in this case the Spanish flu. An environmental group will do everything in its power to prevent scientists and government spooks from stopping it. Dick Hill delivers this novel with subtle characterizations and fluid narration, relating all the mental tribulations of journalist Frank Daley’s pursuit of the story. Hill’s steady performance and cadence disappear into the narration, capturing the terror of the intrigue and bringing the personalities to the fore. Between Case, Hill, and the convoluted plot, the action never stops. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
