THE CARRIER

Jack, a Harvard grad student, finds a cure for cancer. Jack's professor has him expelled in disgrace and takes credit for the discovery. Jack steals the professor's money and the cultures of his cure, then flees to find his true love, who is dying somewhere from--you guessed it. But Jack has somehow stolen contaminated bacteria and is leaving a trail of death in his wake. The chase is on. Dick Hill reads this destined-for-moviedom adventure with an appropriately dramatic treatment of the narration and a limp handling of the cardboard characters. On the technical side, there is some annoying stridency. Y.R. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 00]
