Christopher Lee rocks!

The story itself is an exciting one, but the very best thing about this audio versionis the dynamic reading given by Mr. Lee. Embracing the opportunity to show offthe amazing versatility he so rarely gets to display in his film roles, he plays heroes, heroines, nazi baddies, young, old, and about two dozen characters and dialects in between.A virtuoso performance!!

Solid Job by Author

I have always liked Jack Higgins. This was another of his fast paced, easy to read stories. You can always count on him for a good story. I think this was the period of time when we used another name and was really pumping the books out. The one thing you have to keep in mind when reading his books is that they are meant to forget about your problems and just get into the story. He fills the books with a lot of good details and action but this is not Steinbeck.
