THE BETRAYAL GAME

This compelling novel intertwines fact and fiction. Professor Mikhal Lammeck finds himself trapped in Havana, Cuba, while an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro--an action Lammeck himself believes to be appropriate--unfolds before his very eyes. Narrator George Guidall's deep and powerful voice brings a documentary style to the book, adding to the realism of the story. Guidall's performance employs little in the way of interpretation and character development, aside from somewhat mediocre Cuban accents, which may turn off some listeners. Nonetheless, he avoids monotony, and the overall result is a story that seems as true as it is captivating. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2008]
