THE JANSON DIRECTIVE

Paul Janson, a typical Robert Ludlum leading character, becomes the victim of his own success and ends up embroiled in an overly complex plot of murder and deceit. Unknown forces entwine Janson in an ever-tightening web of circumstances. Who? Why? And why Janson? Reader Paul Michael does little to help readers wade through the verbiage. Although his voice is clear and crisp, his treatment of narrative sections is lacking. On the other hand, his dialects are wonderful, filled with personality and life. Die-hard Ludlum fans are sure to enjoy THE JANSON DIRECTIVE. For others, it will be an effort. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
