THE PROFESSION

Welcome to the world of 2032—in which global warfare, dirty politics, and tyranny prevail. In this scary but all-too-believable military thriller, mercenary armies are competing with national forces. Toby Moore creates outstanding character differentiation with little voicing. The complex mélange of players makes this differentiation all the more important since there are innumerable rabbit holes of intense complex action into which the narrative dives periodically. Moore’s pacing matches the minute-to-minute excitement. While some pronunciation problems with Arabic terms occur, they’re minor errors in an otherwise flawless rendering. Clancy lovers will revel in this great military techno-thriller. M.C. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2012]
