THE MIDNIGHT PROJECT

Senn Annis narrates this sci-fi thriller. The principal storyteller is Raina. She and Cedric are genetic engineers who were blacklisted in the industry when technology they developed was misused. When an eccentric billionaire approaches them to genetically engineer a solution for the survival of humanity, Raina sees a way of regaining the respect of their peers and escaping financial straits. Annis portrays Raina as a bit naïve and impulsive. Cedric shares his perspective through a diary, and Annis portrays him as more cautious but willing to follow Raina's lead--up to a point. Together, the pair create a new species, and Annis shows its evolution as it becomes more self-sufficient and resourceful. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
