Two new excellent audio cd packages are winning productions highly recommended for audio listeners who want only the best. Scott Brick's name may be less familiar than those of Hill, Bean and other veterans, but it's no less powerful and comes no less highly recommended as an appropriate pairing for Brad Meltzer's The Zero Game (1586216031, $31.98). Two individuals are playing a secretive, mysterious game: one which hides a secret which can shake Washington to its roots and change the world. It's the nature of this dangerous game which comes alive in The Zero Game's equally explosive narrative form. Carmen Bin Ladin's Inside The Kingdom (1586217380, $31.98) is written by the sister-in-law of Osama and that authority in and of itself would make Inside The Kingdom riviting. Carmen, half-Swiss and half-Persian, married into the Bin Laden family in 1974: her blend of memoir and autobiography comes from the point of view of being an outsider among the Bin Laden wives, making Inside The Kingdom even more compelling.
