THE VICAR

Rory Barnett portrays "The Vicar," also known as Terry Nolan, an undercover MI5 operative whose cover has been blown. Barnett adds all the narrative fuel required for this action-packed story, which unfolds a deadly serious operation designed to prevent loss of life in England's largest cities. With gusto, Barnett captures the danger and impromptu violence between Nolan and all the adversaries involved in the terrorist network he seeks to foil. Barnett's delivery of all the accents helps listeners follow the plot and principals without the need for further character identification The verisimilitude created in this international spy story invites comparison to many notable spy thrillers, and Barnett hits the bull's-eye with his performance.
