Synopsis

The death of a fellow NCIS agent in North Carolina leads Will Coburn and his special team of naval crime-scene investigators to discover a drug-and-arms smuggling ring. The investigation leads them to a U.S. military base in South Korea. When a body is stolen from a crime scene, the team discovers that their suspect is not who he seems. Nuclear weapons have gone missing, and it's a race against time as the NCIS team uncovers the true face of evil.

From AudioFile

Kevin King characterizes a Navy forensics team with tone nuances, accents, and varying intonation to differentiate team members. His portrayal of Commander Will Coburn, lead investigator, is that of a military man used to being obeyed. After a fellow NCIS agent is found murdered, the investigation leads to stolen military weapons, smuggled drugs aboard Navy ships, and nuclear weapons in the hands of a homicidal terrorist intent on starting WWIII. South Koreans are portrayed with credible accents, as are confrontations with Colombian drug lords and Russian mobsters. The pace is tight, the action nonstop, including a dramatic ending. Although this is a takeoff of the television series "NCIS," fans will ask for more from this author. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
