THE PROMETHEUS DECEPTION

Former spy Nicholas Bryson, now a college professor, is lured back into his old profession by a CIA official's story. He soon finds links to the shadowy Prometheus Project, which threatens to destroy the concept of privacy as we know it, and to his former employers, a U.S. intelligence agency known as the Directorate. Robert Ludlum's fast-paced novel is made more so by this abridgment, and even more so by Frank Muller's excited reading. Muller's voice keeps the tension building and conveys a menacing yet thoughtful edge that pulls listeners into the action. Well-chosen cliff-hangers ending each side add to the pulse-pounding atmosphere of this thriller. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
