THE CURRENTS OF SPACE

Rik is an educated man who has a message to deliver: The planet Florina faces imminent destruction. When he delivers his message to those who rely on the precious product created on Florina, he’s kidnapped, brainwashed, and left to make his own way among the workers there. Kevin Collins communicates the gravity of the threat to the universe and the failure of those in power to heed it, due to economic interests. Collins uses accents of various types to create characters of different classes, and to show distinctions in the status of those within classes. Collins subtly develops the character of Rik as he's thrust into the midst of political intrigue. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2009]
