Black List

Narrator Armand Schultz provides a straightforward, energetic-when-appropriate rendition of Thor’s latest techno-thriller featuring superspy Scot Harvath. This time Horvath is on the run from an ultra-clandestine government agency that has gone rogue. Narrator Armand Schultz follows the author’s lead, quickening the pace of his reading during chases, shootouts, and confrontations, and slowing it down for descriptive passages. Because the action hopscotches around America and Europe, Schultz gets the chance to create an assortment of accents from French and Spanish to Texan, all as well rendered as his portrayal of the rugged but intelligent Harvath. The audiobook also includes an interview with both Thor and Schultz. An Atria/Emily Bestler Books hardcover. (July)
