TOUCHED

Leon Nixon narrates this novella like it's the latest news from a friend who just experienced something eerie and revelatory. The story features a man named Martin, aka Temple, who himself is the cure for a deadly virus. Nixon's pace and tone are engaging as he believably embodies characters who are rivals. However, he sounds slightly odd when he narrates the sultry voice of Martin's wife--especially during intimate scenes. But the story's action is elevated by his intensity as a possible doomsday seems near. Nixon captures the novel's juxtaposition of normal human experience and the horrors of a dystopian conflict. This is a fight for good over evil. T.E.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
