POWER PLAY A Mack Bedford Novel

The Russians are at it again in this futuristic spy thriller, which opens in the year 2018. Joe Barrett leads listeners from Karelia, Russia, to the shores of Donegal, Ireland. Myriad characters speak with Irish, Russian, English, and American accents, and Barrett delivers each with resonance and power. With a flawless delivery he portrays the old-school president of Russia, a disgruntled Soviet who has somehow failed to realize that the Cold War is over. Mack Bedford, the Navy SEAL who must stop the Russians’ nuclear attack on the U.S., hails from Maine. Ayuh—Joe Barrett fully delivers on this globe-spanning glimpse of a possible future. E.E.S.
