HOSTAGE TO DEATH

Bugles sound, and rifles crack amid the world of the French Foreign Legion. In 1920s Morocco, the Spanish and the French are in an uneasy alliance against the Berbers and the Rifs. Explorer and adventurer Hubbard wrote this grand adventure, which dramatizes the story’s danger, treachery, and romance with vivid detail of North Africa. It’s all fare for the sound-rich drama of audio theater. Campy and colorful, this audio program takes listeners back to 1950s Hollywood movies, with bold men, exotic locales, high action, and adventure. The cast pulls out the stops with accents for the motley Legionnaires, the feisty American girl, and the bold Lieutenant Reilly. Share with the family or inspire a youngster to write an adventure tale. Good fun! R.F.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2010]
