Avis de l'équipe
Published in 1996, Gordon Thomas’ ecological thriller, Poisoned Sky, proves itself stunningly prescient of historical events that would unfold in the very near future. The story of secret operative David Morton, on a quest to infiltrate a global conspiracy with dire designs for Earth’s environment, Poisoned Sky accurately predicts the ubiquity of the Internet, the omniscience of global intelligence networks, the reemergence of deadly chemical weapons, and the global repercussions of a vast and covert campaign against terrorism. Like any good intelligence agent, actor Gary Dikeos (Dead End Falls) is precise and alert. Dikeos’ straightforward, fluid performance at turns betrays curiosity, anxiety, and foreboding, suggesting that this performer - much like his audiences - is glued to the edge of his seat with rapt anticipation.
