ACT OF WAR

Narrator Larry Pressman has his work cut out for him performing this overblown, befuddled story of betrayal, betrayal and, oh yes, betrayal. He's as American as all get out as good guy Jason Richards, the only decent person in this espionage story, which pits the evil American government against the evil polluter that is fighting evil environmentalists who use dirty nukes to make their point. All the while, innocent Americans are mere pawns and cannon fodder. The energetic Pressman excels at distinguishing one villain from another. It's not his fault that the premise of the story--soldiers using robot suits to fight terrorists--just doesn't cut it. M.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
