THE GEMINI MAN

In this well-crafted suspense tale, a wunderkind who has done awful things at the behest of the U.S. government is liberated from a foreign prison and studied by psychiatrists, with an eye toward rehabilitation. But is the latter possible? What sort of man is this --the next stage of evolution perhaps? Dick Hill, a master narrator, differentiates among the characters by shading his voice and changing his pacing. He's good with foreign accents, and he captures the prisoner especially well, giving the man a slow, menacing articulation. The result is well nigh irresistible.
