FOUNDRA

by Emmanuel M. Arriaga

Narrated by: Melissa Reizian

Production by: EA Starchilde Company

Epic Space Opera!

Usually, it is earth defending itself against alien attacks and destruction, but this time we are told the story from a different point of view. This story revolves around other beings' worlds facing destruction which includes deadly creatures that can cloak themselves in hiding, vicious flesh-eating monsters, and more that keep the listener immersed in the story.

This is a complex epic story that involves significant world-building and detailed character development. The author, Emmanuel M. Arriaga delivers a unique story of a universe with two distinct galaxies. One is physical and in the here and now while the other is basically a plane unseen by most and must take great magic and talent to see it. Lots of action and adventure, unique yet distinct characters, and the plot twists were well delivered. The depth of the plot was intense mixed with some light-hearted humor.

The narrator, Melissa Reizian gives a powerful performance with multiple unique voices for the characters and her delivery is smooth and rich. This is a complex story and with Reizian’s performance, it is easier to keep things straight.

This was truly a captivating story that was intense and complex. The vivid details and the narrator helped provide clarity as the story moved forward.

The only issue I encountered with the quality and production of this audiobook was the echo technic that represented the telepathy.
