Narrator James Daniels provides the ideal level of intensity for this political thriller. He conveys the almost reckless determination of Katherine Rule, a deskbound CIA operative responsible for digging up clues about Russian activities. When Kate's superiors dismiss her concerns about suspicious Russian incidents, she risks her job—and her life—to take a dangerous trip to Europe for her own unauthorized snooping. Daniels's real strength is in portraying the Russian characters. Through his voice we understand the steely (and perhaps maniacal) aspirations of a Russian general, and the wavering commitment of a mid-level Russian naval officer with doubts about his assignment. Although slightly dated by its 1980s technology, this intricate spy story stands the test of time. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
