THE CASSANDRA COMPACT

Biochemical weapons in the hands of an unscrupulous enemy could produce unspeakable devastation. Some believe the only way to counter such an unbelievable threat is through a biochemical balance of power. And they will stop at nothing to build and test the world's most potent bio-arsenal. American intelligence officer Jonathan Smith must unravel and neutralize the plot to put America in the biochemical warfare driver's seat. George Guidall's fluid and seamless delivery guides listeners through each twist and turn. Despite his masterful manner and artful style, Guidall occasionally tries too hard to create individual identities for too many characters. Still, the overall combination of legendary author and skilled presenter leaves readers with a full measure of satisfaction. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 02]
