MERCURY

Global business mogul Yamagata sees Mercury as a point of departure for further exploration of the stars and hires an engineer to help. Then an astrobiologist's discovery of evidence of life on Mercury threatens to block construction and to contradict the creationist teachings of Earth's New Morality movement. When a bishop of the movement arrives to monitor the situation, all the elements of revenge are in place. Stefan Rudnicki sets the pace as lead narrator. Arte Johnson and Moira Quirk take over on sections related to certain characters. The multiple narrators create the personalities of their respective characters and give depth to their hopes and frustrations. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
