CIA operative Antonio Mendez’s memoir is an entertaining audiobook that offers insight into international espionage and brings a distinguished career to life. Mendez, who was nicknamed the “Chief of Disguise” and was also the author of ARGO, is most famous for his skill at subterfuge, doing everything from creating fake documents to devising disguises to help his colleagues escape or avoid danger. Those roles permeate the book, and that is where narrator John Pruden focuses his performance. Recognizing that the audience will want to absorb every detail of every operation, Pruden delivers the material with the same sense of joy and amazement that Mendez clearly experienced while at the agency. The result is one of the most enjoyable audiobooks in years. D.J.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
