The Honolulu Situation

De: Mark A. Henry

Narrado por: Aidan Thiele

From the streets of Taboor City to the Molokai Fracture Zone, trouble finds Jefir Zaqq like a hook. When a 10-dollar street fight leaves him the target of a vengeful warlord, Jefir accepts the help of a mysterious stranger who helps him escape to America, where everything has a price.

On the run in Honolulu, Jefir throws in with the salty crew of the fishing boat Monkey Fist and tries to survive the whirring gears of capitalism, corporate security, secrets, lies, and home furnishings in the human-sized space between what lies over the horizon and the life left behind.

If you like the way a pony tail looks coming out the back of a ball cap, ice cream trucks, karaoke, sports gambling, Fleetwood Mac, clear liquor, and the Code of the Sea, and if you’ve ever wondered what the world looks like from atop the three-legged stool of intuition, confidence, and rhythm, you can buy this book.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.

The narrators’ ability to depict multiple characters both male and female. The depth of which the characters were developed.

I liked the fact that book depicts multi-cultured characters. I didn’t like that the story itself was pedestrian at best.
