MAGIC TIME Angelfire

A huge electronic pulse paralyzes the known world. Modern conveniences cease to operate; "schools of shadows" and foreboding magic proliferate. Four distinct and vivid voices--those of Goldie, Colleen, Cal, and Doc--take turns narrating this story of the search for the cause of the new dystopian world. Something magical happens when these separate narrative sections are read by four accomplished voice talents. Listeners not only hear different points of view, they hear the characters interpreting each other's motives and feelings. "Home isn't a place, it's the people in it," says Goldie in one of his visions. I came to like these characters because they came to like each other.
