FLIGHT OF SHADOWS

Kirsten Potter’s quiet, intense narration continues the futuristic dystopian story that began in BROKEN ANGEL with Caitlyn Brown’s escape from Appalachia. Now, teaming up with a streetwise con artist, Caitlyn is on the run from government agents, bounty hunters, and her own future. Even with frequent scene and point-of-view changes, Potter effortlessly differentiates the various characters through her use of accents and timing. As the reason for Caitlyn’s deformity and the value of her DNA are revealed, the story introduces questions of science and morality. Potter builds the suspense through her tense reading, conveying the dark mood that pervades this post-apocalyptic world, in which society is divided into strata of Illegals, Industrials, Invisibles, and Influentials—and the government holds all the power.
