Scott Brick could read the phone book and I'd pay good money to hear it. I love his narration! He does many of the Clive Cussler books so it's a dream matchup of story/characters/narrator.

I agree. I enjoy Scott Brick in everything I've heard him narrate. I've recently enjoyed all of the Nelson DeMille books that he's done.
