Barracuda 945.


BARRACUDA barracuda, slender, elongated fish of tropical seas. Barracudas have long snouts and projecting lower jaws armed with large, sharp-edged teeth. They are ferocious, striking at anything that gleams, and are considered excellent game fishes. The largest of the group, the great barracuda, averages 5 ft (1.5 m) in length but may reach 10 ft (3 m); it is dangerous to swimmers wearing shiny objects. Other species are the Pacific barracuda (4 ft/1. 945. Patrick Robinson. 2003. Read by Erik Steele. 13 cds. 15.33 hrs. Sound Library, BBC Audiobooks America. 0-7927-3026-7. $89.95.Vinyl; plot, author, reader notes. A

This is a novel about the Arab-Israeli conflict from the Arab point of view and Robinson provides a top-notch, action-packed narrative that is sure to hold the attention of fans of the action/adventure genre. A torture scene, an all-out battle between Israeli troops and Palestinian civilians, and a defection of a high-ranking British military advisor occur before the end of Chapter I. Under the defector's leadership, Arab terrorists become more sophisticated and lethal. As their fortunes rise, they become bolder and bolder and secretly obtain two Barracuda-class atomic submarines.

There has to be a sequel. This book has the potential to stimulate discussion and debate. Who is right and who is wrong? Is the main character a hero or a villain? Reader Steele gives an excellent fully voiced performance and provides English. American, Chinese, Australian, and Israeli/Arab accents. He brings the action to life and almost makes the smoke and noise of battle rise from the disks. Prof. John E. Boyd, Jenkintown, PA
