THE SALVAGE CREW

Nathan Fillion narrates this science fiction adventure detailing the escapades of a hopelessly outmatched crew that encounters hostile forces on a distant planet. With animation and wry humor, Fillion introduces listeners to OC, an artificially intelligent yet poetic overseer who supervises a motley crew that is assigned to explore the planet Urmahon Beta. From the moment they land, everything goes wrong--the "uninhabited" planet is full of aggressive megafauna, and elusive enemy forces surround them. With tenderness and sorrow, Fillion conveys OC's dawning realization that their mission has turned into a nightmare. Fillion's talents are undeniable, but his performance is somewhat marred by imprecise enunciation and overexaggerated volume shifts. These missteps aside, this audio is sure to appeal to listeners looking for an intense foray into future worlds. S.A.H. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
