THE SECRET SHARER AND OTHER STORIES

Robertson Dean’s smooth bass voice lends itself beautifully to these three science fiction tales, setting a tone that deepens the sense of wonder created by author Robert Silverberg. The three stories in this collection are creative explorations into the nature of faith and the place it will have in humankind’s future. Included are “The Secret Sharer,” in which a starship captain is confronted with an invasion into his own mind; “We Are the Dark,” in which a powerful man far from home must face his own doubt; and “Good News from the Vatican,” in which the latest papal conclave includes a robotic cardinal among the candidates.
