The Graphic Audio for this is fantastic! Full cast with sound effects! This gives us Fichner’s backstory plus the seeds of the beginning of the Sons of Aries. If you’ve read the books (at least through Morning Star, which I recommend), you know it’s not a super happy story. But it still packs a punch!
Definitely recommend!
