DIE TRYING

Listening to the voice of Dick Hill, one doesn't doubt that the powerful Jack Reacher has just retired from the Military Police. He booms as he reluctantly relates the winning of dozens of "damn medals" while he and fellow kidnap victim Holly get acquainted. Hill seems strained in the female voice, so Reacher is more drawn to Holly than the listener can be. He does far better at giving the overweight militia commander a highpitched, whiny voice listeners can despise. Add FBI agents, politicians and cult members and a gripping crisis created by Child and Hill. R.N. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 99]
