RICHARD TEMPLE

Richard Temple has beaten his Nazi captors. He has mentally outfoxed them. To withstand the beatings and torture, the underground agent fabricates a fictitious persona to "reluctantly" share with his tormentors. Once satisfying his interrogators, Temple must reassemble his mental state, putting his psyche back together by conducting a minute examination of his life. Narrator Graeme Malcolm does a splendid job of bringing life and interest to this highly detailed interior process. His quick pace and bright and expansive inflection draw listeners into what some may feel to be a far too introspective look at the life of this inventive hero.
