THE APOSTLE

With bad weather, primitive conditions, and a brutal terrorist at large, Thor depicts some of the extreme dangers of Afghanistan. When a highly connected young doctor is taken prisoner by radicals, the new president finds himself blackmailed into taking action. Narrator Armand Schultz brings some much-needed humanity to this story of wisecracking tough guys and endless inventories of high-tech weaponry. He clearly delineates each member of a privately funded group of professionals sent in to extract the prisoner. Bringing the covert soldiers alive as individuals, Schultz gives them dimension and maintains listeners’ interest D.G. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2009]
