DOUBLE HELIX

Eli Samuels struggles with the knowledge that he has a 50/50 chance of getting Huntington's disease as he has watched his mother disintegrate as a result of having the wrong gene. When Eli takes a job at Wyatt Transgenics, he makes a startling discovery that connects his family to the genetic engineering experiments of famous geneticist Quincy Wyatt. Scott Shina moves this thriller along with a thoughtful voice well matched to its troubled 18-year-old protagonist. He also makes solid vocal distinctions for other key characters, male and female alike, playing his voice to the building of suspense. J.M.S.
