THE OXYGEN FARMER

Narrator Keith Szarabajka embodies the oddly charming Millennium "Mil" Harrison, a grumpy ex-military man living on the moon whose oxygen farm is steadily being overtaken by more modern technology. Days away from his final delivery run, Mil stumbles across an abandoned bunker awash in radiation and gets tangled up in a deadly interplanetary conspiracy. Szarabajka's character portrayals range from surly and gravelly Mil to the chillingly crisp Chief Space Administrator Bailey, with a wide array of international scientists and officious functionaries in between. He smoothly switches from the detailed scientific principles underlying the world-building to the exciting thriller elements that will sweep listeners up. This space adventure is reminiscent of classic science fiction. N.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
