HORNET FLIGHT

Follett returns to familiar ground with a story of espionage and romance set in WWII Denmark. John Lee's performance gives a heightened sense of authenticity through skillful international accents that keep the narrative flowing smoothly. His confident delivery moves the listener rapidly from the pastoral Danish countryside to the real truth of German occupation and collaboration. Eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen discovers the secret of the Germans' incredible success shooting down English bombers, and it's up to him to make the desperate attempt to get the information to the Allies in a dilapidated Hornet Moth biplane. Good fun! D.G. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
