Eunice Wong's calm, deliberate narration accentuates what author Yume Kitasei does best--meticulous world-building. In a not-so-distant future, three sisters are growing up in a time when the oceans have risen, food is scarce, and multinational corporations rule the land and islands. When the two younger sisters discover a cryptic message from the older sister, they set off in a small sailboat across uncharted waters, slipping by pirates and mutant fish as they head for the sister's last known location. Environmental disasters, questionable scientific research, and the sisters' own tangled relationships abound. But no matter how apocalyptic the future, families will survive, and that is the affirming message Wong's voice so deftly reflects.

Sean Patrick Hopkins and Adenrele Ojo narrate a compelling addition to the world created by Stephen King in THE STAND. The anthology collects stories set during, after, and long after the events of the iconic novel. Hopkins's steady, engaging narration captures the essence of each story. With his clear enunciation and varied pacing, the different characters and harrowing settings capture the ear in an immersive listening experience. Ojo's distinctive narration adds layers of intrigue to the stories she narrates; she portrays complex characters with nuance and emotive depth. Both narrators work to produce a performance that's both engaging and dynamic--perfect for fans of THE STAND or those who revel in exploring the fragility of civilization.
