SERENGETI

What a wonderful match of writer and narrator! Elizabeth Wiley's warm voice, varying as it needs to from character to character, is rich, nuanced, loving (where appropriate), and measured. "Serengeti" is the name of an A.I. "crystal matrix" brain that is the core of a massive battle starship. When an enemy engagement goes wrong, Serengeti struggles to save her crew, both human and machine, in a remote region of space. Every voice is believable. Every thing has a personality. They're heartfelt, well written, and expertly portrayed. Let's hope that actual A.I. evolves in the direction presented here. D.W.
