THE DRIFT

Three narrators join forces to tell this story of three separate but intertwined events in a world decimated by a highly contagious disease. Each subplot is told from a separate view point and involves many different characters. The use of multiple narrators is key to keeping track of the different plotlines. Each narrator gives a strong performance, with Richard Armitage's talented portrayal of Carter being particularly notable as he highlights the character's black humor. Nathalie Buscombe voices Hannah, and Rachel Handshaw tells the story of Meg; both their voices are perfectly matched to their characters. As the horrors unfold, the three narrators' strong performances contribute to a thrilling listen. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2023]
