THE RACE

Earphones Award Winner

by Richard North Patterson | Read by Michael Boatman

Mystery & Suspense • 13.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2007

Patterson captures the good, the bad, and the ugly of the American political process. Senator Corey Grace, decorated hero from the first Gulf War, campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination in a vivid look at contemporary politics. Michael Boatman’s seamless delivery is crisp and clear. His straightforward approach allows listeners to feel the full force of ruthless politics with painful clarity. The beauty of Boatman’s narration may well be his resistance to overplaying the story’s drama as Grace takes on the most incendiary issues of our time—racism, terrorism, religious fundamentalism, and gay rights. Patterson and Boatman prove to be a pair of gifted storytellers. T.J.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
