Dark Spies

With a variety of accents, narrator Rich Orlow successfully animates the exciting adventures of master spy Will Cochrane. Orlow's Cochrane is a man's man, with a full-bodied British accent and more than a hint of menace. Cochrane will need all his skills in this case as he gets tangled up in the top-secret Project Ferryman after he ignores orders and saves the life of a CIA agent. The versatile Orlow successfully embodies other characters as well, smoothly shifting between a disenchanted agency wife, Will's crotchety upstairs neighbor, and the many macho men and women of international law enforcement. He skillfully keeps characterization running just ahead of narrative momentum, no mean feat in this fast-paced story. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
