FLESH AND GOLD

Science fiction meets psycho-thriller in this galactic murder mystery by Phyllis Gotlieb, one of the foremost science-fiction writers of the last forty years. Skerow, a telepathic alien woman judge, fights to protect the rights of an enslaved amphibious human. When another judge is murdered, Skerow knows she is in for a solitary battle. Kate Harper lends an array of interesting vocal characteristics to the multi-alien cast, coloring the production with a variety not often heard in audiobooks. Science fiction aficionados will enjoy the ingenuity of the story, and those just dabbling in this genre will most likely find it to be an excellent audiobook, both in its text and its production quality.
