THE GREAT WAR Walk in Hell

This is a topsy-turvy novel of scrambled history squeezed through the sieve of future shock. Populated with historic figures such as General Custer and President Theodore Roosevelt, WALK IN HELL covers a global war being fought in Europe, the Far East, and the United States simultaneously. George Guidall is our guide as we travel through a tattered world in which greed and anarchy have eclipsed rationality and democracy. Guidall's thoughtful, measured performance is neutral, never revealing dismay or shock at a world in which the Confederate States of America have entered into a treaty agreement with France and Britain. Listeners get a glimpse of what an organized and truly politicized African-American population might accomplish. M.D.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 03]
