RIVER GOD

River God offers many of the features that make a good audio title: a first-person narrator with a distinct personality; a fast-paced, fascinating story; and many opportunities for description. The narrator and his royal masters strive to gain control of the upper and lower kingdoms of Egypt while going through adventures, battles, political intrigue and romance--all with vivid descriptions of life in ancient Egypt. The story pushes the limits of credibility at times, but it's such fun that it doesn't matter. Reader Dick Hill does an excellent job building tension and excitement, as well as keeping interest for twenty-four hours of listening. T.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 94]
