"Actor David Birney reads with a skill that contributes to the suspense, anger hope and wonder of the story, especially the characterization of Joe." - Library Journal, April 1, 1997

"...in light of the events of the Heaven's Gate cult, David Birney's portrayal of joe Carpenter resonates with Carpenter's anguish over the death of his wife and daughters in the crash.
