WHEN WE HAVE WINGS

In this slightly futuristic world, there's a class divide between rich fliers, with genetically engineered attached wings, and wretchedly poor non-fliers. Peter Hosking does an excellent job clearly differentiating between the two main characters. Zeke, the traditional noir cop turned cynical private eye, is trying to track down a young nanny who has stolen her charge. Hosking expertly projects Zeke's confusion and shifting emotions as he uncovers the young woman's true story. In addition, Hosking effectively projects Zeke's uncertainty about whether or not he should get his own son wings in a system full of corruption. This is a detail-rich story, and Hosking's clear, lilting voice, with its slight Australian accent, is a true pleasure. S.M. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2013]
