FIVE SKIES

Ron Carlson returns with a story that starts slowly but grows on listeners as he relates the adventures of three men who are dealing with inner demons, job accidents, and trouble from local toughs as they construct the ramp for a motorcycle stunt in Idaho. Carlson reads his own novel with an understated style that gradually draws listeners in. As both a writer and a narrator, he lingers on small details to create a sense of place and a strong atmosphere. He also leaves listeners feeling that they've gotten to know three unique human beings and their lives. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
