MARVEL'S BLACK WIDOW: FOREVER RED

Natasha Romanoff: Gorgeous redhead. Russian. Assassin. Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Superspy. In this brand-new Black Widow adventure, Julia Whelan delivers a full-bodied, full-blooded Natasha, doubts and all. Ivan Somodorov was Natasha’s brutal, psychotic teacher in the Red Room. He taught her how to kill—and now she’s ready to kill him. But first, she rescues young Ava from Ivan’s diabolical experiments. Natasha’s backstory is cleverly revealed through Ava’s story, and Whelan takes us on a wild ride as the link between Ava and Natasha becomes clear. Appearances by Marvel regulars Tony Stark (Iron Man) and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Agent Coulson add to the fun. Wild pacing and comic-book-worthy plot twists are all deliciously delivered by Whelan. Fans of the Avengers will love this on audio. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2016]
