ANGOLIN

Kerr Lordygan narrates a fascinating science fiction tale in which a world hidden for centuries is forced to confront a conquering force. The Hidden Realm of Angolin follows a strict rule of self-imposed isolation until an enemy stirs across the Abyss. Dharmen Tate is a patriot who is struggling with loyalty after discovering a plot to betray Angolin. Lordygan plays with pacing to interesting effect: speeding up and slowing down at key moments to capture the ear. Flitting from accent to accent, Lordygan makes some of the more colorful characters sound even more eccentric. A tale that blends military tactics with political backstabbing set against a vivid world of fantastical technology is made especially vivid by Lordygan's lively narration.
