Possessed of astonishing dramatic, emotional, and philosophical resonance, A Flag for Sunrise is a novel in the grand tradition about Americans drawn into the maelstrom of a small Central American country on the brink of revolution. From the book's inception, readers will be seized by the dangers and nightmare suspense of life lived on the rim of a political volcano.
Perhaps Stone's best and most celebrated novel to date, A FLAG FOR SUNRISE brings readers to the hotbed of Tecan, an imaginary Central American country on the cusp of revolution. From start to finish, this novel is one intense scene after another of corporate corruption and abject poverty amid a complex plot. Narrator Stephen Lang gives realism to the story, offering true-to-form characters, each as complicated and deliciously underhanded as the last. Lang's vocal range is remarkable as he tackles a variety of Central and South American accents with dramatic effect. The result is a voyage so compelling that listeners may find themselves lost for hours at a time. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
