Why You'll Love This
A man whose only superpower is running fast is the only thing standing between himself and a government that wants him dead.
- Great if you want: timely fiction about immigration, survival, and systemic cruelty
- Listening experience: tense and propulsive — the thriller plot keeps politics from feeling heavy
- Narration: Emery brings quiet intensity that fits Keita's hunted, guarded demeanor
- Skip if: you find allegory-heavy political fiction too on-the-nose
