“Joseph Campanella excels assuming diverse characters, accents, ages, and genders, giving the impression of multiple narrators. His narration of Lieutenant Colonel Smith’s fiancée’s death is graphic, filled with sound and description some may find disturbing. His portrayal of electronic savant Marty, characterized by accent and tone, is terrific…Campanella delivers intrigue and suspense with style.”
