Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

The multinational terrorist group, the Crystal Faction, led by the beautiful Gabriele, unfolds its evil throughout Europe while Nick Ryder of the London Special Branch has the task of stopping it. This exciting rendition by Steven Pacey is made more so by his ability to give each scene a dramatic background. The listener always knows where he is because Pacey's way with tempo and dialect puts us on location. Magically he sets each scene by using the author's words as stage directions. Then he puts the listener next to the time bomb, straps him down, locks the door and hisses through the keyhole. J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Red Crystal (Audio Cassette)

I have been fascinated by Clare Francis after following her round the world sailing feat and subsequent battle with chronic fatigue syndrome. I thoroughly enjoyed her first book Night Sky but found Red Crystal to be far fetched and hard to generate any empathy for the characters. Am currently reading Deceit and find this very slow going. I wish she would go back to writing about sailing.
