THE NIGHT RANGER

This espionage thriller is a series of returns--Berenson returns with another bestseller; Wells, the retired CIA agent, returns to rescue four kidnap victims in Somalia; and George Guidall returns for the sixth time to narrate. For the listener, these returns combine into a dramatic, fast-paced thriller that's easy to step into without the backstory of the earlier books. Guidall has developed a unique voice for the major characters who are deployed across multiple books. He easily switches between Wells, Shafer--his CIA handler in Washington--the kidnapper called the Magician, and the victims. With pacing perfectly matched to the story, Guidall continues to demonstrate his wide-ranging abilities and, perhaps, entice new listeners to the series.
