ROGUE ANGEL 13 Gabriel's Horn

When sexy archaeologist Annja Creed is visited by an ominous stranger who claims the Apocalypse is at hand, she isn't immediately sold. However, after a close friend vanishes, she comes to accept the stranger's prophecy as gospel and convinces herself that he is the key to eternal salvation. This program benefits tremendously from the high-production values and assembled casts that have become a trademark of the series, which combines easy-to-love protagonists with easy-to-revile antiheroes in a way that might seem clichéd in any other medium. However, the abundance of over-the-top special effects and semitransparent performances only serve to make this recording all the more enjoyable as it transmits as good-old-fashioned radio theater to the max.
