The Black Tide - Hardcover

Stephen Thorne is the perfect choice for reading Hammond Innes's saga of pollution and suspense. His British accent fits the protagonist to a T. Thorne is equally effective with the other characters, from lightly accented Iranians to French mademoiselles. With more than two thousand BBC Radio broadcasts to his credit, he is a widely experienced voice actor who excels at audiobooks. Innes's story takes the listener to a variety of exotic locales, with the hero spending a lot of time at sea in large and small vessels, always in some kind of danger. The pollution angle is topical today, and Innes writes with compelling power. D.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
