Intergalactic visions, deadly threats, and explosive standoffs between mostly good and completely evil converge in a dystopian fantasy that could only be conceived by the inimitable Walter Mosley, one of the country's most beloved and acclaimed writers
Martin Just wakes up one morning after what feels like, and might actually be, a centuries-long sleep with two new innate pieces of knowledge: Humanity is a virus destined to destroy all existence. And he is the Cure.
Martin begins slipping into an alternate consciousness, with new physical strengths, to violently defend his family—the only Black family in their neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles—against pure evil. Think Octavia Butler meets Jeff VanderMeer meets Jordan Peele.
Expansive and innovative, sexy and satirical, Touched brilliantly imagines the ways in which human life and technological innovation threaten existence itself.

      Leon Nixon narrates this novella like it's the latest news from a friend who just experienced something eerie and revelatory. The story features a man named Martin, aka Temple, who himself is the cure for a deadly virus. Nixon's pace and tone are engaging as he believably embodies characters who are rivals. However, he sounds slightly odd when he narrates the sultry voice of Martin's wife--especially during intimate scenes. But the story's action is elevated by his intensity as a possible doomsday seems near. Nixon captures the novel's juxtaposition of normal human experience and the horrors of a dystopian conflict. This is a fight for good over evil. T.E.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
