Black

BLACK begins with a bang and never lets up. The hero, Thomas Hunter, is living an insomniac nightmare. Every time he goes to sleep in one world, he awakens in another. Hunter learns, in one world, of a plan to unleash a deadly virus by a pharmaceutical company that owns the only vaccine; from the other world he tries desperately to prevent the annihilation. This dual setting of alternative worlds is richly made plausible by Rob Lamont. With his baritone voice and exquisite attention to timing he creates a sense of desperate urgency that leaves the listener breathless yet moving easily between realities. He prepares us for Hunter's compelling transformation from confused time-traveler to confident warrior. K.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
