FATAL TERRAIN

The People's Republic of China chooses tactical nuclear weapons and strategic scheming to overrun Taiwan and take complete control of Southeast Asia. Part of the ploy includes bombing some of their own ships. Along the way, several military installations, air fields, ships, and even a United States aircraft carrier are vaporized. The only thing that can stop this swath of destruction is a hybrid B-52 bomber and its renegade crew. Reader Edward Lewis's lack of vocal warmth seems to fit right in. His delivery is crisp, with good pace and tempo. However, he works way too hard at the voices of the principal characters. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
