Across the Void

Narrator Adjoa Andoh gives voice to May Knox, captain of the HAWKING II spaceship, which was supposed to be bound for Europa. When May wakes up from a medically induced coma to find herself alone, she has no idea where she is and what happened to her crew or ship. May's earthbound ex-husband, Dr. Stephen Knox, is the only person she can trust. She contacts him, and they try to piece together what happened and save May's life. While her portrayal of Stephen is not strong and his Texas accent is poorly executed, Andoh's depiction of May, full of energy and grit, fits the tone and pacing of this space thriller.
