THE SABOTEURS

David Colacci is certainly more than "a reader." He truly performs this WWII-era thriller with a twist: German saboteurs have brought the war to United States soil, blowing up trains, train stations, and moored ships. At the same time, U.S. agents prepare for the invasion of Sicily and Italy. Colacci becomes a sinister German, a Brit, a dusky Italian, a Southern belle, and more. His delivery is smooth, natural, and more versatile than one might expect of his rich baritone voice. His pace is just right, too, and he's accomplished at building suspense as the plot jumps from the Battle of the Atlantic to other worldwide locales such as London, Washington, and Algiers.
