KINGDOM COME

This strange offering in the thriller genre is almost saved by Hill's dependable reading. A CIA agent who tries to unmask the culprits who killed a university professor is defrocked and pursued by a sect inside the CIA. As Jack Dunfey lunges from country to country just one step ahead of his intended killers, the listener is detained by weird subplots--never satisfactorily explained. Nonetheless, if the listener has the attention span, Hill's performance may be worth the relatively short investment in time. Hill is at his exciting best in the gory scene in which agent Dunfey dispatches the three thugs holding him prisoner. No sarcasm intended, the best of the offering and Hill is the last 10 minutes.
