THE PRESIDENT'S ASSASSIN

Former Army lawyer Sean Drummond is back as a new CIA hire who can't figure out why he’s been enlisted to investigate the execution of six people until he reads the note left behind threatening the President of the United States. He is assigned to work with FBI Agent Jennifer Margold; time and again they find themselves behind the eight ball as they pursue terrorists. Scott Brick is terrific as the wisecracking Drummond. His voice for Jennifer is a not quite as good, and at times the other male voices are not distinctive enough to tell which character is speaking. The story carries the day, though, with its wild and surprising ending. Listeners won't relax until the last word. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 05]
