A short but telling story
5 out of 5 stars
Jeffrey Kafer is one of the best narrators working today. I completely understand why Robinson works with him again and again. His voice just lends itself to almost any character and situation. This is another one of those cases that these two work perfectly together. Kafer is able to bring out the best in Robinson’s work time and again.
Sometimes a short story is just that… short. And sometimes it’s much, much more. From Above is one of those stories. I genuinely couldn’t believe the back story that Robinson was able to get into such a short story.
The characters were incredibly real and likable. Even the story itself seemed to be plausible. Yes, it’s a science fiction story that takes place in the near future, but even the way that things were laid out were totally believable.
The character interactions (and differences) made a unique subplot to this story, stealing the show at times. Needless to say, I’m not really surprised that I liked a Jeremy Robinson book. I really haven’t disliked anything I’ve read by him yet.
If you’re looking for a short story that will take 40 minutes or so — this novella/short story is for you.

This sounds good but I’m not really a fan of short stories!!
