Titanium Rain: Episode 1

Following a band of genetically altered fighter pilots during a global conflict, this impressive audio production follows Alec Killian and his fellow pilots as they discover how they were created, what makes them tick, and what their purpose is in this almost ceaseless war. Boasting thrilling and realistic sound effects, a musical score, and a dynamic full cast, this is an engaging listen that rivals the best classic radio dramas. Based on a comic book series, this production’s only major flaw is that the transitions between scenes are sometimes jarring and difficult to follow without visual cues. Still, fans of comics and listeners who love radio dramas will find a lot to like in this entertaining sci-fi thriller. (June)
