BORN TO RUN

Right from the start of this latest Grippando legal thriller, narrator Jonathan Davis takes charge. As a character is pursued over the rooftops of a foreign city, the excitement boils from Davis's lips. In this latest Jack Swyteck adventure, the U.S. vice president is killed in a hunting accident, and Swyteck's father, a former Florida governor, is nominated to replace him. From there Swyteck is drawn into a massive, decades-old cover-up that spans the globe. Hostages are taken, secrets are revealed, and the life of the president himself is threatened. It's not just the exciting parts where Davis excels in his delivery. His solid dialogue also makes for a standout performance. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2009]
