THE MORCAI BATTALION

Gifted author Diana Palmer steps into new territory with this story, which she began writing as a teenager and which holds its own among today's highly imaginative science fiction novels. The story of one battalion of space soldiers that steps up to defend their galaxy is certainly out of this world, but that isn't a problem for narrator Todd McLaren. Despite the massive cast of characters he needs to keep track of, McLaren never falters in his delivery and provides each character with a unique and realistic voice that successfully brings this story back down to Earth. The result is an endlessly entertaining ride that highlights McLaren's vocal talents. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2008]
