FEARLESS

William Hope narrates this first novel in a series featuring the fascinating Ben Koenig, a former U.S. Marshall who once specialized in finding anybody--but who himself found it necessary to disappear six years ago. Now Koenig finds himself the focus of a manhunt initiated by a frantic father who wants him to find his missing daughter. Koenig has myriad special skills; chief among them is a biological inability to feel fear. Hope's portrayal is pure perfection. Nothing fazes Koenig, so each discovery and dangerous moment is narrated by Hope with the perfect blend of sarcasm and ennui. Hope manages to convey Koenig as unemotional and practical while taking listeners on a wild, terrifying ride. Listeners will feel all the fear and danger that Koenig is unable to. L.M.G.
