Synopsis
A British minister is a pawn in a deadly game played out in one of the world's most explosive countries -- Indonesia. His kidnapping does not fall under British jurisdiction and the authorities in Jakarta claim that he has been seized by a guerrilla movement. But their investigation makes no progress as horrific satellite pictures of him are released on national television. The government sends one man to rescue him -- Nick Randall has served in the Far East before. He knows that nothing is as it seems in the land of masks. Greater forces are in play than even he suspects. Together with a lone woman TV reporter he penetrates a remote island, where a powder keg of armed local rebellion is threatening to explode under the repressive regime.

From AudioFile
A kidnapped statesman, a soldier recalled to action, a pretty girl reporter, exotic locales, diplomatic crisis, dirty secrets all round-everything needful for an action thriller is here present, well done, and in just proportion. Christian Rodska fits the material perfectly. He projects just the right tone of masculine seriousness, punctuated by a nice array of character voices, including comfortable female ones. Rock-solid technically, he never distracts the listener with a hesitation, mispronunciation or misplaced emphasis. There is no novelty here, rather the comfort of a familiar dish, well prepared and impeccably served. J.N. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
