EXTREME MEASURES

One of today’s great thriller-spinners cooks up a terrifyingly realistic jihadist nightmare. Add to Flynn's exciting imagination and super-macho hero, Mitch Rapp, the exquisite voicing of George Guidall and the listener can count on one wild ride. Guidall does his usual masterful job with all the tough-guy voices. In addition, we hardly notice when he slips into simple narrative to cover the lesser characters since his terrific pacing and delivery keep us on the edge throughout. He pulls off the women and children's voices in a manner that is not at all distracting. Listeners of Clancy, Patterson, and DeMille will love this book. Also for lovers of the new West vs. Radical Islam genre, which has replaced Ludlum's Cold War. M.C. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2008]
