OFFICIAL PRIVILEGE

A Navy commander is ordered to investigate the murder of a lieutenant, with assistance from a woman working for the Naval Intelligence Service (NIS). Acronyms for military departments and ranks are prevalent throughout this book. Hearing them allows the listener to be immersed in the language of military personnel and helps make the audio presentation authentic. J. Charles manages characterizations that superbly reflect the voice of a man whose larynx has been brutally cut. Rugged where necessary but equally capable of smooth, soothing voices, he produces an effective and exciting audio presentation. J.L.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB 96]
