Lod Airport, Israel: Two Concorde jets take off for a U.N. conference that will finally bring peace to the Middle East. Covered by F-14 fighters, accompanied by security men, the planes carry warriors, pacifists, lovers, enemies, dignitaries — and a bomb planted by a terrorist mastermind.
Suddenly they're forced to crash-land at an ancient desert site. Here, with only a handful of weapons, the men and women of the peace mission must make a desperate stand against an army of crack Palestinian commandos — while the Israeli authorities desperately attempt a rescue mission. In a land of blood and tears, in a windswept place called Babylon, it will be a battle of bullets and courage, and a war to the last death.

      Scott Brick recedes gently into the background as he brings DeMille's masterpiece to life. This epic spans not only the present-day Arab/Israel conflict, but looks back 2,500 years through the same lens. Ride along on a pair of Israeli Concorde jets, formerly bound for a peace talk and now hijacked, and move to the edge of your seat as this excellent audio rendering brings alive the many voices--Israeli, Palestinian, French, and Jewish-American. This is a fast-paced story with many characters. Only a real voice talent could keep up with both the action and the accents. If you're old enough to remember Entebbe, Uganda, in 1976, you'll especially appreciate this action-drama history lesson. M.C. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
