Class radio play, unfortunately, a rather weak end

The second part sets seamlessly up where Part 1 ended and leaves the listener so no respite. Because still the problems of the hummingbirds are not cleared up and the pressure on Mark Brandis increases, also because this series of spaceships calls for further fatalities. Unlike the first episode, which took a lot of time for more peaceful underwater scenes is the second part much more on action, there are several scenes that leave one breathless listening.
Nevertheless, one still considers it important not to forget the people behind the commanders, technicians and pilots. Again and again there are scenes with "normal" events or emotional conversations, which makes the plot only the more vivid and accessible.
The allusions to previous, political events to take in this episode. If, like me einsteigt with Test Act Hummingbird in the series, makes it curious about the first episodes, while ensuring that one occurs the development of Hummingbird story credible and substantiated.
The end, however, I found it a bit too easy knit. With a "call" the case is cleared up, the hummingbirds will be allowed to restart safely, end in site.
For a story about 2 CDs, as you would expect but then a more impressive resolution.

The names on the list of speakers work with a few exceptions still quite alien to me. And thus this radio play is one of the best evidence that it does not need a super prominent speakers Guard to present a good radio play. Here no one makes even the slightest blunder. I particularly enjoyed Katinka Jaekel in the role of resolute Rosanna Jordan. It is in some ways a very unusual person and Katinka Jeakel gives you the with each set.

The soundtrack then rounded the thing off ultimately. Regardless of whether the act is currently playing in space or several thousand meters under the sea, the sounds in the background ensure the appropriate, suitable atmosphere. Especially that succeeds here again for the underwater scenes, for which act really powerful dark and oppressive.
The sounds are well used and let the plot additionally act alive.

The cover is the same as the first part, so immediately it becomes clear that the two parts together form a story. In the booklet you can still find what it is the cover of previous episodes and also explains some concepts that could have perhaps raised questions while listening. Also two descriptions can be found here.

Conclusion: In spite of some weak end gave me part 2 again fallen exceptionally well. Exciting and rapidly, on the other side but also very human here a successful sci-fi story is told.
