THE GENERAL

The Air Force Chief of Staff has been murdered, horribly, in a way reminiscent of the Vietcong. Military intelligence officer Lt. Col. Charlie Jensen and his aide, Jonesy, seek the shocking truth, hidden since the Vietnam War. Jim Bond doesn’t just read; he performs The General, drawing the listener into a tale of deceit, dark secrets and murder. Beginning in the middle of the story, Bond’s steady, even narration adds to the tension. He subtly characterizes the personalities, matching volume to authority, enhancing the horror beneath the truth of the tale. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 00]
