THE OUTSIDERS

Rather than Seymour's usual spy story, this thriller is about revenge. In delivering it, narrator Gildart Jackson employs an unusual English accent--part Cockney, part cultured British. A group of former and current MI5 members, once called the "graveyard team," are out to avenge the brutal death of one of their young colleagues 10 years earlier. The villain is a former Russian army major--now part of that country's mafia. Though the main plot is different, listeners will recognize several typical Seymour subplots. Jackson's multifaceted performance makes the overly long story more palatable. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2015]
