Accidental Flight

De: Floyd L. Wallace

Narrado por: Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot

FNH Audio presents a complete and unabridged reading of F. L. Wallace's "Accidental Flight". The Handicap Haven is an asteroid. It's also home to the "accidentals": collection of humanities rejects, people saved from death but mutilated in ways that the delicate sensibilities of the future cannot bare to look at. The Earth of the far future is a place for beautiful, young looking, perfectly formed people where the slightest imperfection is a crisis, and those that can't be "fixed" are exiled. But the residents of the "Haven" have had enough; they are tired of living useless lonely lives. They are frustrated and angry; it can only lead to one thing. Revolution.

An interesting gem of a story!

I discovered Floyd Wallace a long time ago when I found out that he was my great-great uncle, and as a writer as well, I'm proud to be related to him and really love this story! i am disabled, so a story about four handicapped adventurers trying to escape the judgments, pity and ridicule of the 'normals' is something I understand all too well. This story speaks to me because of that, and the fact that Floyd spoke of disabled people in the 50's, a time when many imperfections or insecurities were surpressed, is something that proves he would've loved a family member like me in this time, if he was still alive. Surprisingly, along with the seriousness and themes of identity, Accidental Flight also has a lot of romance, sassy dialogue, (mostly from Antii) suspense and a satisfying dose of justice in the end. intermingled with the science and futuristic ideas of the 50's. I hated Dr. Cameron for his annoying sense of self, so I hope you love his karma as much as I did. Overall, a great story, smooth voiceover work, and a precious slice of history!
