STORMING HEAVEN

Black sheep FBI agent Mark Beamon takes on the cult-like Church of the Evolution. Joe Grifasi delivers a thrill-a-minute escapade with murders, the kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl, encrypted codes, a computer hacker extraordinaire and some Bond-like maneuvers by Beamon. Grifasi makes the Church fanatics eerily threatening and gives Beamon a Columbo kind of charm. However, listeners must be willing to forgo logic and sequence as the abridgment romps through the action, picking up and discarding references to material that has been cut. Grifasi is good, and the story would be even better if it were all there. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 98]
