STATE TECTONICS The Centenal Cycle, Book 3

Christine Marshall narrates the final volume of a near-future cyberpunk thriller that pulls many chilling ideas from the current geopolitical landscape. While the cast of characters is large, and the point of view switches frequently, there is never any confusion, thanks to Marshall's clear distinctions between main characters. Election day is nearing, and the future of "micro-democracy" is at stake. Sabotage runs rampant, and it's difficult to know whom to trust. Occasionally, the complexity of the plot threatens to overwhelm Marshall's smooth narrative flow, but that is a momentary distraction and does not take away from the overall merit of her performance. The story ends on a note of hope, perfectly captured by Marshall. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2018]
