Narrated adroitly by George Guidall, Forsyth's (The Day of the Jackal) latest tells the story of a son seeking to avenge his father's death. During an assassination attempt on a U.S. senator, retired marine general Alvin Carson is killed. The assassin is inspired by an Islamist clergyman known as the Preacher. Unfortunately for the Preacher, the marine's son, LTC Kit "The Tracker" Carson, is a member of the Technical Operations Support Activity whose job it is to track and kill enemies of the United States. Guidall gives a marvelous performance in the narration of this work. His deep, resonant voice effortlessly gives life to the text. His pacing is spot on, and he reads both description and dialog with the same skill. A very nice marriage of voice and text.
VERDICT Public libraries should purchase.
