KILLER INSTINCT

It's hard to resist a business thriller in which the hero confidently assures he'll sell a bluff with "I'm a salesman, that's what I do." It's true Jason Steadman is a great salesman, but in the cutthroat business of a Boston electronics firm, he's too nice a guy. Scott Brick gets us inside this world with a smart and skillful pace and wickedly delivered corporate jargon. Jason makes a new friend whose "security" work takes an evil and deadly turn. He struggles to stay ahead of his friend-turned-foe. This skillful abridgment keeps the accelerator floored, and Brick keeps listeners gripping the seats. Brick and Finder have made a great team for the previous audios PARANOIA and COMPANY MAN, but KILLER INSTINCT is best-of-breed. R.F.W.
