TERMINAL FREEZE

A small college sends a research team into northern Alaska, with funding from a television station, which sends a production crew along. The TV crew, however, takes over the project, with disastrous and dangerous results. Scott Brick works wonders with the story, thanks to his edgy vocal tones and impeccable timing. With solemn and reverent tones Brick depicts the values of the native culture, particularly regarding its ancestral history, and the insensitivity of the television crew. He also provides a realistic portrayal of the scientists who find themselves facing endless obstacles in their research. Brick brings the same high standard of performance to his narration that he brings to the Ender science fiction series, and listeners will not be disappointed.
