The Heights of Zervos (Isis Series/8 Audio Cassettes)

Rating:
Summary: Forbes is in a class by himself and Zervos is unforgettable.
Review: In the past year I have read dozens of audiobooks, but none had the impact of The Heights of Zervos. It begins with a gripping descrition of sabateur hero Ian Macomber narrowly cheating almost certain death, and keeps up the pace in this unabridged story of four men's struggle against huge odds. It's deliciously long, so the pleasure lasts. The writing (and reading) is exceptional (compared with others in the genre) and the characters really live, by their wits, as they carry us to the thrilling conclusion. I must read all the Forbes bookshelf now.
