A TIME FOR WAR

Peter Larkin provides a solid narration in the second installment of the Jack Hatfield series. This thriller pits Hatfield against Chinese nationals who are resolved to attack the U.S. with a biological agent and dismantle the military using equipment bought from an American entrepreneur. Larkin effortlessly switches between the full slate of supporting characters, differentiating each with various accents and nuanced tones. He brings a brisk cadence and a heightened level of tension to confrontational dialogue. However, these attributes are sometimes lacking in the combat scenes. Overall, Larkin's deep, multilayered tones are perfect for this complex story and will keep listeners waiting for Hatfield's next adventure.
