DEPARTURE by A.G. Riddle

Narrated by Nikola Barber and Scott Aiello

     Playing With Time Travel Paradox    

As is the case with many Time Travel novels this one deals with the paradoxes caused by looping when going back in time to f\try to fix things. One nice touch here is that the characters looping back through time do not always find themselves allied with their future selves. This provided for some dandy plot twists. It is quite an achievement for A.G. Riddle in managing to keep such time travel looping relatively simple and making the action easy to comprehend.


I really appreciated the technical production of this audiobook.  Ever since I listened to the tag-team narration of Dracula with Susan Adams and Alexander Spencer I have been a fan of books read by two narrators. Here in Departure the narration switches seamlessly from male to female whenever appropriate and it adds a great deal to the experience. The clarity of the audio is outstanding. Both narrators change their tone to give each character a different voice. Nikola Barber is really skilled at performing male voices. Scott Aiello gives convincing character voices that are instantly recognizable.
