THE KINGMAKER

THE KINGMAKER is the man behind the selection of every Russian president for the past thirty years. But who is he? Why has Army General William Morrison, a Russian specialist, been charged with a series of crimes against America that make him look like a modern-day Benedict Arnold? Can military lawyer Sean Drummond provide a good defense for Morrison, given the past history between them? Brian Haig's gripping story of international double-dealing and treason, the fourth installment in his Drummond series, dares readers to put it down. Then we add narrator Scott Brick. There’s something special about the way Brick serves up a story. While his delivery has a repetitive uptick at the end of sentences, he provides believable vocal changes for the various characters. Overall, his approach is straightforward, and there’s a certain swagger to his style that engages listeners and draws them into the excitement. Haig and Brick make a good team.
