When a series of bizarre events wreaks havoc across the continental U.S., ex-CIA operative Alex Hawke must pair with crime-fighting pals to stop a mad scientist who has unleashed a mysterious force. While Bell's story often seems over the top, narrator John Shea delivers a compelling performance that manages to bring the material down to earth. Listeners will immediately connect with Shea's gritty, earnest tone. His well-rounded and relatable character portrayals make the story all the more urgent and immediate. Shea has the ability to make the fantastic seem entirely plausible, and his knack for engaging listeners is at work from the very first sentence. L.B. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
