The Brethren - John Grisham (CD)
Title: Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror Title: The Brethren Author: John Grisham Genre: Literature And Fiction, Mystery And Suspense Format: 5 CDs (Abridged) Synopsis: Trumble, a minimum security federal prison, is home to the usual assortment of criminals. It is also home to three former judges who call themselves The Brethren. They meet each day in the law library, where they write briefs, handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, occasionally dispense jailhouse justice & spend hours hatching schemes to make money. Then one of their scams goes awry. It ensnares the wrong victim, an innocent on the outside, a man with dangerous friends & The Brethren's days of quietly marking time are over. Review: Library Journal (August 1, 2000) The Brethren are three ex-judges in a country club prison in Florida who settle disputes among other inmates and help with appeals. They also have a mail scam going that extorts money from middle-aged gay men taking their first tentative steps out of the closet. These are the good guys. Meanwhile, CIA director Teddy Maynard has chosen obscure Arizona Congressman Aaron Lake to become the nation's next president, offering him the message (double defense spending), the money, and the means to shape events to become a surefire winner. Take a deep breath. The listener will be asked to swallow some incredible coincidences, including the extortion scheme's snagging the hitherto immaculate Lake. Reader Michael Beck brings a great deal of energy to his narration. The abridgment works pretty well, though some subplots inevitably get shortchanged, and at least one important scene takes place off-camera. Grisham's (A Time To Kill) ending is weak, but if ever a title rendered criticism irrelevant, this is the one. Buy it for demand rather than merit; you probably already have.
