One surefire way to hook your listening audience is to begin with a scene rife with terror, delivered by a narrator who can stretch out each horrific moment in an almost-slow-motion quality. Johnathan McClain does just that, plunging listeners into a supernatural survival story, starting with a blow-by-blow account of a plane crash. The narration moves between members of a teen robotics team--Javi, Molly, Anna, and Yoshi--who, along with four others, are now stranded in an alien environment. McClain alters the tension, tempo, and emotions of each survivor to create a wholly believable group. This nonstop action fest will have listeners on the edges of their seats and craving the next installment.

Westerfeld contributes the first episode in a new multiauthor series that opens with a literally flying start: a jet flying from New York to Japan is attacked and crashes, leaving only a handful of young teens as survivors. McClain's narration seems hesitant through the initial passages of character establishment and the crash scene but then eases into a rigorously paced rendition that provides convincing emotional variations among all characters. His Japanese is flawless for the Japanese teens, and he establishes credibly accented English for those Japanese speakers who attempt English. The ethnically and socioeconomically diverse American teens are provided no specific accents, so listeners must rely on verbal character descriptions to imagine the American contingent's heterogeneity. The cliff-hanger end comes with a prompt to take part in the online game component established with the series, an invitation Westerfeld fans will eagerly accept. Grades 4-7.
