THE HADES FACTOR

The CEO of a drug company plots to start and cure a deadly worldwide epidemic for profit. The writers assemble a broad cast of heroes and villains, which include the CEO, his hit man, a rogue government agent, a former government agent turned doctor, an autistic genius and a retired M16 "specialist." Michael's diverse performance is a force to be reckoned with. His accent and vocal changes make this work both believable and enjoyable. The listener really appreciates Michael's diversity when the autistic Marty switches from nerdy intellectual to a manic gunslinger as a firefight begins. Though this work is a change of pace and slightly less complex than the usual Ludlum fare, it's still an enjoyable experience. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 00]
