THE FOLD

Narrator Ray Porter deftly captures the emotions of a group of people who are caught up in a force they don't understand. Porter's lived-in, seen-it-all voice inhabits Mike Eriksen, a high school English teacher who has a gift he considers a curse. An old friend convinces him to take an offbeat summer job: investigating a secret, groundbreaking project called the Albuquerque Door, which uses equations and magnetic fields to fold dimensions and shrink distances, making trips of hundreds of miles take minutes. But there's something that the Door's science team isn't saying, and it's Mike's duty to find out what. Porter ably voices a wide range of characters--from the gruff team leader to the foul-mouthed female engineer and the stammering alien leader. Porter is an affable travel guide on this thrilling trip to a frightening world. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2015]
