RIVER OF RUIN

Paul Mercer, a mining engineer with an uncanny set of survival and combat skills, outwits a Chinese plot to change the balance of power in Asia. Toss in buried treasure, a plot to destroy the Panama Canal, a band of French Foreign Legionnaires, and a beautiful U.S. Army sharpshooter--and you have a truly engaging adventure tale. Reader J. Charles is the icing on the cake. His presentation is energized with enthusiasm, crisp diction, and right-on accents. Best of all is his smooth and comfortable pace, seemingly effortless. T.J.M.
