Narrated by: Rikki, Isis, and River LaCoste
Rikki LaCoste is a long time narrator and voice actor who has read for short audio fiction publications under District of Wonders, and Escape Artists, Inc., including otherrs, often working alongside his daughter, Isis. This story features powerful, telepathic twin sisters as the protagonists. So, naturally, Rikki asked his daughter Isis to help him out, again, and also recruited his OTHER daughter RIVER, who happens to be a young, aspiring stage and film actor. Special note: as far as we know, so far, these real-life sisters are neither telepathic, nor are they able to destroy a gigantic grizzly-bear bio-droid using tech-magick—since the opportunity has not yet presented itself.
