THE RUNNER

Stephen Lang is among the master narrators of international thrillers. His voice retains a crisp intensity while switching inflections between German and American in Reich's post-WWII thriller. It's the days of Harry Truman and George Patton. JAG officer Devlin Judge is caught in a cat-and-mouse game with Erich Seyss, the escaped Nazi war criminal and former Olympic track star responsible for killing Judge's brother. With characters who come alive and a narrative style that is strictly business, Lang's reading lends to the intensity of Reich's intrigue, suspense and romance.
