BLONDE BOMBSHELL

Narrator Ray Sawyer rolls with an eclectic and disparate group of characters who are trying to sort out an intergalactic threat to Earth, providing them with inventive voices and accents. Music from Earth is annoying inhabitants of the planet Ostar so much that they decide to investigate Earth’s defenses in anticipation of blowing it up to make the music stop. Sawyer has fun with the irony and the tongue-in-cheek wordplay between the characters, who range from animals (real and possibly imaginary) to humans and to artificial intelligence that doesn’t know its place. Sawyer keeps the absurdity of the plot under control and delivers a narration that is well paced, lighthearted, and appealing. J.E.M.
