VOLATILE MEMORY The Volatile Memory Duology, Book 1

Narrator Emily Gibbons Bouchard demonstrates that queer love knows no bounds in this amped-up sci-fi romance. Called to a nearby planet by a mysterious beacon, scavenger Wylla goes on the hunt for what she hopes is a valuable find. What she discovers is something even greater: A mask imbued with the power of its last wearer, a hawk. Donning the mask, Wylla gains the hawk's memories and, avoiding other hunters on her tail, embarks on a quest to avenge the hawk's murder. Bouchard's narration captures both Wylla's pride in her transgender identity and her growing attachment to Sable, the hawk's former owner. Providing growing confidence to Wylla's voice and depth to Sable's, Bouchard makes this interstellar romance a gripping listen. A.A.H. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
