From AudioFile:

Jason Culp's masterful use of accents sets the scene when Captain Juan Cabrillo of the OREGON boards a cruise ship adrift at sea. He finds the ship littered with hundreds of dead bodies, except for one survivor in sick bay. With dramatic delivery and timing, Culp captures the rising tension when Cabrillo learns of the Responsivists, a group intent on controlling the world's population. Their diabolical plan is to sterilize the world with a virus strain that may link back to Noah's Ark. The virus, an archaic but powerful weapons-delivery system originally intended for dispersal by Stalin, is thwarted by Cabrillo. Undaunted, the Responsivists' new plot is almost foolproof. Authentic sound effects complete this action-packed audio. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
