THE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS

It's never easy being strangers in a strange land. That's the pointed message that Rich Orlow imparts in his skilled narration of this riveting novel. The Silvers are a group of six (two sisters, a shy teen girl, a brilliant Aussie teen, a sarcastic cartoonist, and a troubled ex-prodigy), selected by three near-deities, who wake up to find themselves in a new world and discover they possess weird abilities related to time. Orlow effectively captures the wide range of emotions of this confused, battered sextet as well as their relentless pursuers. His propulsive pacing carries listeners right to the end of this first book in the new series. The production is a winning combination of story and narrator.
