RUNNER Run Duology, Book 1

Dietz’s sci-fi thriller features future humans who travel in antiquated ships, delivering cargo and passengers between planets. Runner Jak Rebo is exceedingly well portrayed by Sean Runnette with low intonations and slow but precise pacing. Brother Sua Qwa hires him to deliver a special child, Tra Lee, to the holy city of CaCanth on planet Thara during the journey. Jak encounters sentient AI spaceships; “sensitives” like Lanni Norr; Kane, the arch villain; and a rude AI master computer named Logos. Runnette finds unique and well-suited voices for the multitude of characters and never falters over some tough alien vocabulary. Runnette will engage listeners of all ages.
