Reviews
After listening to the wonderful Kovacks series of noir scifi read by Todd McLaren, Simon Vance's multi-faceted British delivery is a bit of a shock. But just as McLaren's tough-guy cynical voice is perfect for the Kovacks stories, Vance makes 'Thirteen' his own story. The characters are fully 3 dimensional - at least the male characters are - and are somewhat more complex and interesting than what Morgan had created in his earlier novels. This story is a little tough to follow in the beginning as there aren't clear breaks between current time and flashbacks or between spoken dialogue and inner thoughts, but its definitely worth listening to.
