Edge of Battle
Veteran audio, TV and film actor McShane brings Brown's latest thriller to life with understated skill&mdash;a much-needed element in this churning engine of hard-to-swallow political and military theorizing. Listening to McShane is like sitting in a bar and sharing war stories with a friend; his raspy, deceptively ordinary voice could well belong to one of the U.S. Border Patrol agents who are killed by a Russian terrorist group in the hot zone between America and Mexico, or a member of Task Force TALON&mdash;the U.S. paramilitary unit trying to wipe out the terrorists whose leader has linked up with a seriously nasty "coyote"&mdash;a vicious smuggler of drugs as well as people. What Brown does best are the sort of nonstop action scenes his fans have come to expect&mdash;and McShane knows just how to bring those moments to vivid audio life without going over the top.Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
