Paul Di Filippo's "Shadowboxer" – Twilight Zonesque story podcast

This week's story on the Escape Pod science fiction podcast is Paul Di Filippo's "Shadowboxer" and it's well worth a listen. Escape Pod has published a lot of top-notch science fiction audio — including many of this year's Hugo nominees — and they continue to attract fantastic material and wonderful readers. Shadowboxer is read by Podcheck Review's Scott Fletcher, who delivers a new-perfect narration to one of the creepier sf stories I've ever read. It's a political story about an assassin who can kill by looking at someone, who is kidnapped by the US and pressed into service as part of the War on Terror. Di Filippo's handling is light and sly, and the twists and turns in his telling are worthy of the best episodes of the Twilight Zone. Escape Pod is on the cutting edge of a revolution in free science fiction audio, and I'm loving it to pieces.
