DOCTOR REFURB
by Marty Essen
Narrated by: Theodore Rose
Production by: Encante Press, LLC
Aliens, Humor, and Environmental Time Travel!
Dr. Stefan Westin was doing well until he heard a voice. Then everything went from normal to bizarre in the blink of an eye. Approached by an alien with an offer he couldn’t refuse, Westin sets about saving Earth. How? Easy, he has the option of changing the existence or even deleting any environmental villain he thinks will help add years of life to Earth. The catch? Nothing major, just a body part – a limb, organ, skin, and lots of pain. The good news is the missing part is then refurbished with a “spare” part from … well, it’s best that we don’t know that answer! Oh, and by the way, there is an ulterior motive for the alien race to do this!
The author, Marty Essen takes the age-old question “Who would you time travel to get rid of” in a unique and colorful manner. The character development is solid and like Stefan, you cringe as you begin to wait for the body part to “disappear.” I thought the plot twist of what the aliens do with the body parts was intriguing. The choices that were better than others are a reflection of some current-day issues and concerns.
The narrator, Theodore Rose did a good job. His cadence was steady, and he spoke clearly. I enjoyed hearing his performance. I feel he moved the story forward, projected the essence of each character well, and projected the appropriate amount of energy.
If you enjoy suspense and aliens with some humor, this is the book for you!
